Who The Heck Are Ya?

Dan, I posted one picture shortly after I found this board, but have not been able to get another up since. Any suggestions for a computer illiterate? I do use Photobucket. Much of my work is "aged", and I don't know how many in this forum even want to look at old pitted up knives, but if I learn how to post them, I can throw one up now and then. Thanks for any advice. By the way, the first knife I still have. My first sale was 1972. We are very close in origin time. Take care, Wick Ellerbe.

Hey guys,
My name is Matt Doyle I'm from northeastern Ohio. I'm a maintenance supervisor in a steel mill and have been screwing up sharp things for about six months now. I really appreciate the comradery shared between the folks here on the forum. What a great bunch of guys! If any of you are close, drop me a line and you can come by and make fun of my lack of skills.:D

OK, you can call me Phil. But I am a rookie knife maker, on my 5th knife, none of which I would show to you guys...yet. I live near LaConner Washington, which is about an hour north of Seattle. When not there, I am probably at my cabin in north central Washington near the town of Winthrop. My dog is Luke. And I sure appreciate the help I get from reading the forum and your patience in answering questions.

Phil
 
Dan, The problem of posting a photo was kinda what you said about the double posting of http//. I found if I erase the one in the box, then post the image from Photobucket, it will be accepted. Thanks.

Hi Jeff, you're idea sounds fine with me. My name is Don Craig and I live in Saranac, NY, up in the cold woods of the northern Adirondack Mountains. I'm a newbie to this forum. I started forging at the age of 10 when I heated up a framing nail on my mother's gas stove, took it outside and pounded it with a claw hammer into a small spear point on the concrete kitchen steps. Of course, my parents were not around. About 20 years ago (I'm 63) I acquired a Buffalo forge with squirrel cage blower, an anvil, tools, and a copious amount of coal and charcoal. I've been experimenting with making primitive knives (I'm an historical re-enactor) out of files and leaf springs. They work and they look primitive, some are pretty good, but nothing I want to show in this forum, considering the highly talented knife makers here and the fine work they display. I've also collected an assortment of folders (a lot of them are scout knives) and a variety of fixed blades.
thanks, Don Craig, Saranac, NY

Jim Hiatt, Wannabe knifemaker :) I occasionally make a few knives, but I enjoy sheath making with Kydex and I live near San Antonio :(. I am an IT consultant by trade / training and I have a love for the outdoors, thus the knife making.

Hello- Kris Jacobsen here. I have loved knives all of my life, started thinking of making them 4 or five years ago. So far I have started 35 of them- finished 3 (got to love ADD). Last weekend I bought my first heat treat oven from Rob!, a fellow Canuck here on the forum. So maybe now I will finish a couple per year now:D . I collect knives (almost to the 200 mark), do martial arts, love camping/hunting when I can escape the urban jungle. I like to try to make traditional ethnic designs, along with my own user designs in order to find my own style.
As far as my life- I am a Biologist by education (entomology); Warehouse supervisor by necessity, and recently Father by good luck!
This place has been my new addiction for a few months now- and I love it!!!
 
Hi!

Brian Bevel here - St. Louis, MO. I'm just getting started. I've built a freon tank forge, but my first blade is a stock removal seax I'm grinding down from a Nicholson aluminum file I annealed. It's slow going on a 1 x 42 Grizzly, so I may set it aside and start on something smaller.

Still, it's great fun, and very rewarding to see the blade slowly emerging from what was a worn-out file!
 
Hi. everyone. I have been looking at this site for quite a while and have started asking questions. Mostly fairly obvious ones i guess... Anyway i am Paul and I live in washington D.C and am a police officer in the city. and I became interested when I saw some of the beutiful knives you guys make. oh yeah Dozuki is japanesse for a shoulder saw which is used to make some strong joints in woodworking. I like the feel of it. From now on I will put my name in my posts. thanks Paul
 
lets try again my last intro seems to have dissapeared. I am Paul or hey you with the face. I live in washington D.C. and am a police officer for the city and have just recently become interested in knife making. Dozuki is japanesse for a shoulder saw. It is used to make very strong joints and I like the way it sounds.
 
Well I guess I should introduce myself on this thread since that's what it is all about. I've already said HI on some other threads so this might be old news to some of you. My name is Reid Smith and I live in Spokane WA. I was stationed here back in 1989 after two years in Iceland. I've collected knives since I was a teenager. My dad shipped me a box of knives from the Philippines that got me started collecting. None of my knives are of "collection" quality but more of a "usable" type. I carry them for my EDC, I carry them into the woods, I abused them as a teen. Now...I want to make them. My son-in-law and I built a forge and an anvil and I bought a small belt vetical belt grinder. So we will see where this goes. Please see my link below to see the forge and most of my knife collection.
