I have passed my JS performance test under MS Howard Clark in June. I have since moved to North Carolina to be near family and a change of scene from Iowa.

I was hoping to find some Master Smiths to crit my work so far on at least two knives to let me know what I need improvement on. 

I have looked through the listing of NC Masters and thought maybe I’d try this as well before I make some cold calls.

Thanks for any advice or any takers

Search the tab on top of the page - ABS Rated Bladesmiths. Steve Randall is in Lincolnton. Give him a call.

Thanks Karl! He was on my list.  I’ve just joined the NC custom knife makers guild as well.

Hello Steven,

 

MS Scott McGee is close by as well. I plan on visiting him for testing and critiques. 
He’s recently moved to Youngsville. 

He’s an excellent teacher, I highly recommend.
