Hello Everyone,
My Name is Jason and I live in Brea, CA. I have been lurking around for a while now and I figured it was time to make an introduction! I would first like to say thank you to all who freely give their knowledge and hard fought experience. What I have learned here already would have taken me years of trial and error at home.
I got "the bug" early this year and thought, hey, I should make a knife! I had no idea what was in store for me...
I have completed 5 knives to date (one last night at midnight...).
I am married and have 3 kids, all girls! They are 15, 13 and 11. My life is pretty busy with all the family stuff, which definitely limits my time to make knives. I run operations for a manufacturing company, so I have access to a great machine/mold shop. This has been awesome as my guys helped me build a nice 2x72 right away.
To date, I have only attempted stock removal, but look forward to forging in the future!
My skills are pretty rough at this point and I am daily in awe at the work that is shown on this forum.
OK, thanks for reading and I hope I can get to know you better.
Here are my first, second and fifth knives in the order that I made them... I don't have pics of my 3rd and 4th knives right now.
