Please go support my petition to bring back episodes of Forged in Fire and resume filming. I know there’s more important things but it would mean a lot to a few folks I care about.

This campaign needs you now Resume Regular Airing of New Episodes of Forged in Fire

Come on out to the LoneStar Expo center at the Montgomery county Fairgrounds for an exciting show. Saturday and Sunday 9am to 5 pm. I’ll be in the bladesports cutting competition Sunday at 11am and could use some encouragement.

Something a little different from the forge.

8” Santoku in AEB-L with Walnut handle and stainless pins

12” Blade, Ultrex Suretouch handles with stainless lanyard tubes.

I might actually get these done. Finally got through 120 grit hand sanding on 96” of AEB-L.

I've reduced the price of this beautiful piece to fund some new projects. If you've purchased a knife from me in the past, I'll knock another $100 off the price. It comes with a zipper bag. If you would like a sheath or display case we can work those details out after the sale.

Let the fun begin! I’m participating in the knifetalk podcast It’s my first go using pattern welded stainless steel. The contest requires making a kitchen utensil. The blank is 1/8 x 1-3/8 x 8 so a bit small for a typical chefs knife. What should I make? What kind of handle?

A big Thank You to Rachel Smith for allowing me to move the hand sanding station in the house. Can anyone guess why I like to hand sand in Tide?

Built a new anvil stand today. It’s a little big for my 70 lb TFS anvil but it should be a big improvement over the one in the background.
