Hey!

My name is Caleb Harris, I'm 14 and living in Northern California, just south of Redding. I've been making knives for the past year and a half or so, and doing general metalwork and silversmithing for a few years before that. Hoping to get JS in a couple years. Here's a few photos of my recent work:

(This one I'm proud of; traded it to a woodworker who did the scales)

Another woodworker saw the one above and requested one for himself.

This is where I post most if not all of my photos; also all of the above I posted are a mix of WIP's and finished ones. http://instagram.com/bladesofbelaq

So hope to learn a lot here!

Welcome to the forum Caleb! I started making knives When I was about your age.

I'm always glad to see more young smiths interested in bladesmithing.
