Turn n Burn Report post Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks "Jimboob" lol I have always wanted to make knives but for some reason they wouldn't let me in Jr high shop class. Im a welder by trade so has taught me about steel and have put slot of time studying about knife making i also metal polished for years so have lots to go off for the knife making. Also make pens for a while but my tools were ruined in the floods here in Calgary lst year. Did phyrography for awhile too and still have all my equipment funny how it all lends its abilities to leather work. Even airbrushed for awhile but never got the results i was looking for. Two years of leather and i know i have found my art. Want to make more knives for leather as well as awl blades Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
