Hello to everyone. My name is Gilbert McCann I have been making knives for 2 years just under 20 knives. This forum has been very helpful the members are inspiring and giving. I started with stock removal kitchen knives I was to cheap to pay over 200 hundred dollars for a knife that seems a lot more reasonable now. After taking some lessons and seeing hunters,bowies and others I got the bug and built myself a forge for Christmas (done by February). Well now I'm on my 6th forged knife. Here's my latest it's my 3rd bowie and first hamon w-2,wrought-iron, stainless steel and leopard wood and my first sheath. Thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge on this site.
Gilbert that is a very nice looking knife and sheath. I especially like the hamon. BTW Welcome to forum.

Nice looking knife and sheath Gilbert. Where in Phoenix are you? I am up north in New River. Are you connected with AABA yet?
