To All Members Of The Knife Network Forum
I joind this forum 2 days after Christmas. And I have posted 2-3 Questions(9260 spring steel, Habaki making). and I am greatfull for answers thay all helped a great deal.
I have gone to people I have knowen for many years, Trying to get my knife and sword making off the ground. Asking questions and whatnot. and all I got was SNUFFED! It was like forging was some big secret. So I started on my own, and picked up alot of bad habbits and doing things the hard way. As I read through the forums I'm finding that there are still good, unselfish people willing to give thier knowledge and expience without even a second thought! Special thanx to all that take the time from thier busy day to answer Questions for us that don't know. Thanx for the smile guys and girls  Dave Boyd __________________ It's not how much time you have... But it's WHAT you do with the short time you have that defines who you are

Hi Dave and welcome.
 The internet and the advent of forums has changed knifemaking and custom knives substantially. You are seeing firsthand why. It's a bit of human nature to feel threatened giving good hard-learned information away. But the internet, with its not-in-your-backyard personalities, allows many to divulge these lessons. Somehow it's safer. It is also human nature to wish to help someone. Remember there is a human on the end of every keyboard. I know you do, that's why you posted.

im gonna have to agree with dave on this one, the guys here really are the best around. without this forum i would have never made a single knife. there are1 or 2 who rub me the wrong way but thats a dam small number compared to all the other forums out there.

Welcome Dave!
Ya know, I was just trying to remember how I stumbled on to the forums. ####ed if I can. It must have been a web search back when I was reading Boye's and Loveless's books. It just seems like I became a knifemaker and this was part of the deal. Kinda like cell phones and PCs..., what was life like without these things? Quote:

Every one of us started with that first knife. Many shared with us, now we share with each other, that is how we pay our teachers, share with all commers.
