Hey y'all! I'm new to this group, but I've been making fixed blade knives for about 12yrs. My home is in the mountains of western North Carolina, just outside Asheville. Right now it's colder than a well digger's behind and windy as well. This type of weather won't let me get out and forge, so wanted to take the time and get involved with another group of knife fans. I mostly forge blades and the work ranges from period pieces to current tactical styles. Another thing I enjoy is leather work and have had the chance to do sheaths for a number of other makers throughout the country.
