Comment by Jonathan P Wick on January 17, 2013 at 10:25: I played with steel for a while then I met a knife maker from Alaska(his name will come to me soon) Knapp is it! Mark liked what I was doing and mentioned a good place to learn more is through the ABS, so I became a member and went to Washington AK in '08 and last year at this time I earned my journeyman stamp in San Antonio.
