Hey there, Mark! Welcome to iKnife! Come on in, kick back and check things out. There's some handy tips on our front page to help you find your way around, and some fantastic people in the Chat room if you have any questions or want to shoot the breeze. Site rules are also on the main page, and if you get creative, you can customise your My Page to suit your own style! Hope you enjoy your stay with us! Great to have you on board!

Welcome, Mark!  There are other knifemakers here, not to mention a bunch of people with a TON of knowledge.  And definitely check out the groups -- a lot of great content over there (& other places too, but that's a great place to start).  I'm a recovering aspiring knifemaker (never quite made a knife, but still have some of the equipment, so maybe one of these years).  All that to say I wish you well with it & keep us posted.  Great to have you here!
