Hello all, I just found you guys today...a nice surprise to find a Canadian knife making forum!! I started making scandinavian knives a year or so ago and have been hooked ever since. Looking forward to learning a lot from this forum, and contributing when I can (still a noob). Here's a pic or two of some knives I've done in the past. Comments and constructive criticisms always welcome. (just the handle work...i haven't tried forging my own blades yet). All the best! [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG]
Welcome to CKM! We're glad to have you. Nice looking knives, especially the second one. I've always had a soft spot for Scandis. If I made fixed blade knives, I'd definitely start with one of those. When you're ready to take a shot at making blades, we've got lots of experience around here, both in forging and stock removal.
I really like the Swiss Army Knives (a personal weakness), but great job all around. What steel are your Enzos?
Canis Why not bring some of your knives out to the Canadian Knifemakers Guild show in Toronto on March 10, and 11. We would love to talk knives with you. It is at the Four Points Sheraton on Airport Road. Is that tulip wood on the second folder? nice Steve Vanderkolff
Nice job. I really like your finishing work, looks like lots of sanding. Do you make sheaths also? I have just begun to appreciate scandi's this last year or two, and have made one bushcraft knife so far with my home made filing jig. I've been eyeing those enzo trappers also, but landed up getting a folder (the Birk) which I needed for carrying around all the time. There is lots of knowledge on this forum which I've begun to tap into this last year.
