My knife making journey began in 2008 when I attended the American Bladesmith Society (ABS) Smoky Mountain Hammer-In at the Haywood Community College (HCC). I had read several books on forging knives during my daily train commute into the District, but back then I believed that investing my energies into building a forge would be overwhelming - due to the little leisure time I had. But after moving to rural North Carolina, participating in a local Hammer-In, and finally forging my first working knife, I was ready to begin the journey.
