So I decided to start forging...

[nicaburns]

After YEARS of wanting to mess around with knife making, becoming an empty nester pushed me to get started. I began to set things up at the end of 2019 and have had the chance to make a few blades so far this year. It has been a lot of fun but I still have a lot to learn. I’ve only sold a handful so far but that wasn’t really the goal.
My forge is named Empty Tomb Forge as my little way to celebrate that Christ is Risen and my hope is in Him! 1Cor 15:14

Cool. Here's hoping you get more enjoyment out of it than you can stand!
I like the looks of the ones pictured (and the name!).

This one was a gift to my wife. 88 layers of Damascus since we were married in 1988

Skills. What did you do in your "first" life?

I need a cleaver!

They are a TON of work since I do everything by hand.

Very professional look. You seem to be very far along after less than a year. You have a good eye for layout and handle design. Very nice symmetry too. Will you be posting some for sale here?

Perhaps... once the weather cools down it is more likely... so far they have been gifts and custom pieces for close friends. Thanks for the compliment
