Hello ABS,
My Name is Barry Kennedy and I live in outback Australia.
I have made several knives in the past using the stock removal method but I am new to blade forging. I forged my first knife under the guidance of Australian knife maker and Journeyman smith Keith Fludder from whom I have gained a wealth of knowledge so far.
I hope to learn more from all the information available on the forum along with guidance from the forum members. I would also like to come to America one day to attend one of the bladesmithing schools and see the Atlanta blade show.
I look forward to discussing with you all more about the art of forging blades!
Thanks
Barry Kennedy
