Hello all, just a short introduction. I retired in 2011, worked 45 years to get to the point of being able to pay myself to do something I enjoy. I have been a knife tinkerer for a number of years but always wanted to make knives. Started small, minimal investments and have made a few, mostly for family and friends. I don't ask a lot of questions or post much, it's not because I don't have questions, they have usually been asked and answered.:1: Looks like a wealth of information here, am looking forward to reading and seeing what's going on.
