Howdy, Jerry Cripe from Meridian, Id. Started collecting knives young and few years ago started making all my karate weapons for classmates and myself. Needed to make some out of metal, so built a forge, well knife making took over. Trip to coast stopped in Walla Walla and met Bruce Bump, and gave me great encouragement. Hammer in, Tilly Alberta last year with an incredible bunch of Bladesmiths. Build most of my tooling, just finished my Bruce Bump style vertical forge. I joined the forum over a year ago, but have only been studying. Great place.
Great to be Here, Jerry
