Here's my first forged 5160 knife. I've been traveling to Tim Potier's shop doing some training as time permits.

Very nice knife Eric. Tim is a great instructor and you are lucky he lives nearby.

Thanks Dennis.....and yes it is nice to have Tim 30 minutes away. I believe you and a few friends went for some training not too long ago?
