Hello from the middle of California

New guy here. I just finished my grinder and am starting to make my own blanks. For a while now I have been buying blanks from Ebay, mostly Damascus and finishing them. I have been selling them at a local gun shop. I have tried grinding a couple of blades and lets just say I have room to learn some.

Hey Steve welcome to the forums from another newbie. This is a great place to learn.

By the way, I completely understand about the grinding. It takes a LOT of practice.

Good luck on your knives
