Thank you Bob, that means alot, and the next time I am in that part of the country, I'll look you up. I could be there in about 5 hours( depending on how often i get pulled over, : : Mustang 5.0, retired police car, my other hobby )after I make a few more knives, and I decide that this is something that I am going to pursue fully, then I will most definatly enlist your help in building a forge. I have a couple of sources that might pan out, for heat treating ( Mr. Wilkins being one of them ) And I know someone with a torch, looking into that...

Thanks for all the help everyone,

Ben
