I have been collecting knives for over 30 years. I've tried my hand at knifemaking and will soon return to making knives. I have collected everything from Case trappers to handmade fixed blades and folders and autos to production models, microtechs, protechs,hubertus... just about anything with a sharp edge. I have a fully equiped shop with a paragon heat treating oven, burr king 2x72 grinder, Bader 2x72 with digital speed control as well as a homemade forge, an old meyer bros power hammer(that i still haven'tset up),
hammers and an anvil that weights about 260 lbs. I am glad to find this community to share info and to learn from others.
