Friar Tuck 9 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hello, Was thinking about starting out summit to waste a bit of spare time and to keep me out the pub at the weekend haha. Really interested in some of the lads work on here with knives, finishing them and actually making there blades, im only 24 so suppose i have plenty of time to learn and i understand theres alot to forging your own. So would the best place to start be to buy a few blanks and finish them off? I know this has probably been asked before hundreds of times sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
