I am from central Arkansas and I’m just getting started in the world of knifemaking and I’m already addicted.
I just finished my first knife and I’m already working on number 2, and planning 3 and 4.
With a lot of guidance and a advice from a local knifesmith, I forged out my first knife and heat treated.
Its 1075, differently clay heat treated. I went through 4 normalizations before the final heat soak and quench in parks 50.
I am a bit OCD on details so I spent hours sanding, etching, and polishing.
I look forward to hanging out and learning.
Regards,
Bobby
