Hello, My name is Chris Young. I am 55 years old and began forging about 18 months ago. Better late than never. I am self-taught via YouTube, online forums and lots of reading. I am glad to be part of an organization that will help me learn, improve my skills and connect with others with the same interests. I have made over 50 knives so far but only 9 of them have been forged.
Attached is the first blade I forged.
Looking good Chris. Where in Phoenix are you?
