Hi all.
I'm new to this group so I hope I'm doing this right.
My name is Vince Buck, I live in Warroad MN which is 6 miles from Canada on the SW corner of Lake of the woods. I've Lived in northrn MN all my life and spent 39 years as a forester for the state. I managed many thousands of acres of state land, fought fire, planted trees and did some out of state work too. For 18 years I did additional duty during fire seasons. I was an air attack boss. I explain that by saying I was in charge of air operations over a fire. Sort of like an airborne air traffic controler. Keeping airtankers and helicopters from occupying the same air space at the same time. A few years before retireing I started making knives. I use 1095, L6, 440C and ATS34. I make mostly hunting knives but have made several kitchen sets and some fillet blades.
