Anyone in Southern California?
I'm new to the forum and new to knife making. I am in Monrovia which is in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California. Looking for other knife makers that could maybe show me the ropes. I am hooked on knife making and would really like to learn from someone experienced.
My full time job is as a Pelican Products specializing in making custom weapons cases for LE and the military. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help out. Paul |

Welcome to the forum, Paul! Lots of knife makers in CA, someone will probably speak up. Meanwhile, check the Visit a Knife Maker in Your Area sticky thread at the top of the forum, maybe someone already did ....

When you are going to buy belts if you have a grinder. I would go to tru-grit in Ontario, I was suprised to see that they were located over in Ontario so I went in and they are extremely helpful and a nice bunch of guys. Might be a little far from monrovia but I think its worth it to see all the different kind of belts and everything they have. I live over in Hesperia , there is a group I believe its calknives.com, I haven't joined yet but I am soon. They get together everymonth at someone's shop to show of knives and learn new techniques.
God I want a pelican case hah Anyways good luck! Alex |

Alex, thank you very much for the info. I am very excited about getting into knife making. It seams that there is a very large market out there. Through my Pelican business I have a ton of customers that would be very interested in custom knives. Now I just need to learn how to do it properly.
I know I can't advertise my Pelican business on here but if you ever need anything Pelican please let me know. Paul Quote:
