Hello! My name is Josh and I live in Haskell, AR. I grew up in Mena, AR and joined The Army Guard 1-153rd INF out of Mena after High School. I have served 2 deployments to Iraq and several state side deployments in the past 11 years. I am married and have 4 daughters (this is why I need lots of guns and knives around
. When I am not at work I load the kiddos up and we spend a lot of our time in the outdoors. I have wanted to get into blade smithing for some time now so, I finally decided im going to do it no matter the cost etc. I will figure it out as I go. I have always appreciated a great knife ever since my grandmother gave me my first folder when I was about 8 years old. I have enjoyed many of the post so far on this site and look forward to learning from everyone.
