Just wanted to drop a line and say hello from over in Western New York. I've been dabbling in knife making ever since I was kid, maybe 13 years now or so. I got serious about it in the last 4 years. I never had any formal instruction, just kind of picked up a hammer and went with it. It's been a fun journey so far, someday I wanna go for my journeyman Smith test and hopefully Master Smith after that. I don't know anyone in my area who takes making knives seriously, so I'm hoping to learn more from you guys. Thanks for accepting here.

Welcome home, Walt.
I certainly hope you find help here that you can use to chase that JS and MS certifications.
As you become more acquainted with the knife world it's my guess you will find some more knife makers in your area.

Thank you sir, browsing through the membership lists, there's a journeyman Smith the next town over from me by the name of Kevin King. Maybe I might try to get in contact with him.
