thanks for the responce guys,I don't post alot but I'm here almost daily, learning and taking advice from other peoples questions and answers.I feel fortunate to have access to all the information that is offered!Thirteen months ago I didn't have a clue how a knife was made from a plain piece of steel.I've still got tons to learn.Ill try to post pictures of 1-8 to show the progression if you're intrested.
