[QUOTE="warrior45, post: 1032946, member: 4598"] dlbleak, Big thanks to you for your support! I have been talking with Bill Coye on the forum about how I am still so blown away by the encouragement I have received here on OKS. I never would have thought I would have orders like this. I am still learning being 4 knives into this journey. But I strive to perfect this craft even if that takes me several hard years. I think as makers, we learn something new on every knife. So I dont know if perfecting this craft will ever be possible....lol I agree, handle work is a very critical point of the knife making. Cutting out the blanks on the steel horse is the most tedious process in my opinion. But its all part of it. If you enjoy making knives you will develop the patience and once you start seeing good results you will be hooked. Like I said brother, I damn near gave up....but decided to start reading up on it again.....upgraded my grinder and it has all started to come around. After all, there are still people/Makers out there still using files and whatever they have on hand to make a blade. It takes dedication and a good eye. My goal is to produce designs of my own and try my best to stay away from the norm. My first love was Art, so I am also working on several Fantasy type, tactical blades.

Just gotta get a few runs done first. I owe you all a great deal to show my appreciation. I also encourage you to get back at making blades.
