Thanks for all the responses guys. I think I knew the answer before I posted, but was curious what others thought. I probably should have elaborated on the items I want to purchase. If I were purely interested in stock removal, it wouldn't be such an undertaking. Unfortunately, forging...

I'm curious to see if this is the natural progression for other aspiring, part time and full time knifemakers out there. Like many, I grew up with a fascination/obsession with knives. Unfortunately, I wandered away during high school, presumably because it wasn't a cool hobby to have or...

Welcome to Knife Dogs. It is good to see there are so many of us here.

Hey BJ, I appreciate the offer. We're trying to get our house ready to sell, so I'm hoping the next one will have a garage and/or workshop type space that I can dedicate to knifemaking. Without having such a space right now, it doesn't make sense to try and buy tools just yet. Fortunately...
