Hi from Wisconsin

I just thought I would say hi. I live in NW Wisconsin and have been making knives in the winter. I started with 10" saw blade skinning knives. I made a few dozen saw blade skinners, and a few neck knives. I have played around with kydex and made some sheaths. Last winter I made a wood forge , and flattened out some truck springs knives. I love the spring steel. I have made a 1/2 dozen or more spring steel skinning knives. I guess I have a soft spot for skinning knives.
I also tried making a few rail road spike knives. I just finished building a gas forge, and as soon as it warms up a little I will give it a try. I would like to try building a few folders, but I don't know where to start. So I am going to get a few kits to use for a pattern. I hope to learn more from you all.

Welcome BigJeep from a fellow Wisconsinite... I am in the SE portion of the state myself, about mid way between Milwaukee and Madison... but have brothers that live in the NW part, near Hawkins in Price County. We have a hunting cabin there too and spend much time there in the late fall. What part of the NW are you from?

Welcome aboard!
Another way to learn folders is to get a bunch of old broken folders and fix them up.
It is a great learning tool.
