Hello fellow ABS members, and any other fine folk. I began forging my first knife about a year ago, and, although I have yet to finish my second, I must admit I'm hooked. My goal is to be a master smith one day, and I hear this is the place to do it.

A big thanks to all of you who pass on your knowledge of the craft! In the future, I hope to get to know many of you by attending as many events and classes as I can (especially when I am enrolled at Haywood). Until then, I will have to ease that God given urge to forge blades by tinkering in my parents' garage.
Nothin' like fire & steel!
