Howdy all:
I'm new to the site. I have been interested in knife making for a few years but have yet to delve into it so I'm buying some blacksmith tools as I find them in prepaation of buying a forge, grinder etc.. I've been a little shocked at the prices of belt grinders (good ones) so I'm considering building my own when I finally decide to make the plunge.
Hoping that y'all will be able to help out with your feedback when the time is right. In the meantime, I've been looking at different knife makers on Instagram. Most seem to be in Pakistan, very willing to sell anything they have but I've read to approach overseas sellers with great caution. So I am. I'd much prefer to buy USA or Canadian made knives or other "stuff" as long as it's not made in CHINA!!
