Hi, my name is Patrick and I just started full time knife making a couple of weeks ago. I am looking forward to meeting new people and getting to know more about making knives. I took the 500 intensive class from Murray carter around 3 years ago. I just launched my first limited edition knives and they sold out in 6 mins! so now i am working like crazy to get them done.
I am looking at buying a knife grinder I like the TW-90 but can buy both a vertical and horizontal grinder for the same price and have a back up grinder (KMG). I have been looking at many different grinders and reading up on the forum here but what is your thoughts on the best grinder... also looking for a power hammer what is best for making knives 25# 50# or 100#? I know it matters if you want to forge weld which I would like to in the future but right now just looking for making knives.
I have been using a homemade grinder and forging by hand. Thank You all for sharing your knowledge I know I have a lot to learn and looking forward to forging new relationships here!
