I would like to introduce myself. I have been loving knives since i was a child and began hunting with my father. And i began making my oun knives arround 6 years ago.
All my life changed 3 years ago, in Thiers Knife show, in France, when my brother Johny introduce me to the master Joe Keeslar. I have been always a big follower from his work, but meet him in person... bufff
Since that moment, all my work is inspired on him, and he encouraged me to continue that way.
So, thank for the oportunity of been here, and thank Master Keeslar for your inspiration and trust in me.
Pd: sorry for my english. I will try to do it as well as i can.

Hello Guillermo Garcia Del monte
You will enjoy all the wonderful members in this organization. They offer help and encouragement to any who ask.
I have had the pleasure of meeting Joe Keeslar myself and yes his skill at making knives, leather work, his wire
inlay, engraving and file work are masterfully done. His willingness to - Pass It On - teaching others is his
gift as well.

Welcome Guillermo. We are glad you're with us.
Joe Keeslar was my very first instructor in the Introduction to Bladesmithing class in Washington, Arkansas. He and Greg Neeley will always hold that place of respect as my first teachers.
Hi Guillermo, and welcome. You're making some fine knives, and couldn't find a better teacher than Joe Keeslar. Every time I talk to him I take notes! Hope to cross paths with you some day
Welcome Guillermo. Your going to fit in nicely here. Joe, is well respected here, and deservedly so. I hope to see more of your work as your time allows.
