G day.
I am a retiree who has only been interested in knives and particularly folding knives or pocket knives as Aussies call them for 60 odd years.
My background is that of a metal fabrication tradesman who became a teacher,coded welder and NDT inspector along the way.
I am fortunate enough to have a shed full of machinery and tools. While I have made a good number of fixed blades for friends and family I am primarily interested in making and repairing pocket knives.
Over a number of years I purchased the following books to help inform me.
Custom Knifemaking- Tim Mc Creight.
Step -by -Step Knifemaking. You Can Do It - David Boye
The complete Book of Pocket Knife Repair - A Cutlers Manual - Ben Kelley Jr.
The pocket Knife Manual- Blackie Collins
I look forward to making new friends here and in participating in the forum and have LOTS of questions to ask.
Thanks
