There's just so much I need to learn. But I think, real soon now, whatever that may mean. I hope I can buy good blade steel next week (for which I know heat-treating and tempering temperatures) so after that I can can start doing 'real' blades. So far I've used some scrap metal. But Don, why don't you tell me which knife you'd like to get, what is its intended purpose and I'll make it (as good as I my skills permit). My email is viltsik [at] gmail com.

I hope you keep posting details like this as you proceed in your new career. When do you expect to have something for sale? I'm interested in supporting your new career and buying a Katana or whatever you end up making.
