    Is knife making harmful and shorten ones life?

    Every knife maker I've known in the past has died relatively young......does breathing the dust from the sanders, grinders and buffers shorten our life span?

    Need help with guard creation...........

    For the life of me I can't seem to find anyone who makes their own guards and knows how to do some creative work on them. Surely somebody makes their own and has some knowledge how to work the metal......? Thanks
