MT Knives News March 2014

The last couple of weeks have been slammed packed with a variety of things…. From training, teaching, traveling and tidying up my shop. And working on some knives!

Training

I spent several days with another knife maker “Bill” who has over 40 years of experience, and some really nice tools 😉  I have learned a lot from Bill and He lives pretty close so I will be  working with him a lot!  I hope to do some traveling one day and continue to learn new techniques along the road. I love meeting other knife makers. Here is one of Bills Toys, I hope to have some more toys in the future!

December Something…

Time just keeps flying by, took a little time with the family but for the most part it was work as usual.
