Greetings from PA

Post by Sydres »

Hello everyone! Another new guy here. I've been kind of lurking for a few months. I love pocket knives, and fixed blades. I started working on knives this past year and have learned a lot. I made some of my own tooling including an s7 tool steel cutlers anvil and hammer.
I think it runs in my blood since I was born in Bradford PA and my Grandmother work for Case during the sixties and my mother worked for them during the eighties. I have a fair collection of knives mostly Case as well as Queen/ schatt and morgan
Kinda ugly but it works

A few of the knives I have worked on the first is a Kabar etn91

The second is an old schrade prohunter blank with walnut limb scales

Neither were works of art but I learned a lot from them
