Hi Everyone,

My name is Michael Simonini and I am from Brussels, Belgium. I started bladesmithing 4 month ago at the Forge of Ostiches with the forge instructors Dirk Bourguignon and Frédéric Taquet. I recently followed the 2 weeks class "Introduction to Bladesmithing" with Master Smith Tim Potier, it has been a wonderful experience and I learned a lot.

I am thrilled to be part of the ABS. I have only made a few knives until now and I am looking forward to learn more.

Best regards

Michael Simonini

Hi Michael,
