Knifesmithing


I had wanted to make my own knives since the time I was a small child. About a year ago, I began taking blacksmithing classes at a local smithy, and realized I could make my childhood dream a reality. After spending hours wading through online forums and instructional websites, I learned everything necessary to start building knives.



This is a block of Desert Ironwood burl, a wood preferred by knife smiths for its beautiful patterns and durability.
