Thread: New Guy

Hello,
I'm new here and thought I would introduce myself in this branch of your wonderful forums, as this is where I shall be spending the majority of my stay. I mainly repair, and embellish folding knives and make fixed blade knives. I have always had a curiosity for razors, so I figured that I might aswell give them a shot. I hope to be able to apply some of my knife knowledge to razors. I hope I can learn a bit and maybe give a little (of what I know) in return. You fellas on here do some excellent work, I was at a loss for words with most of what I seen.
Thank You,
M_M

Post some pics of your work in the off topic section ,I would be interested
welcome and have a good Christmas
Kind regards Peter

Hello, and thank you for the warm welcome. I'll post some of my stuff in the OT as soon as I get a chance.

Maybe it's better to keep things on topic. These are my first two attempts a tillitson and Co. and a W&B. They both had broken handles, as soon as I find some liner material of the correct thickness, these will be taken further than just cleaning the blades up.

Thanks,
I like muskrat pattern knives, and I like to eat the fur bearing rodents, so the name can go either way

I agree. There's been some great work coming out recently. I'm glad you want to help it continue. I look forward to seeing your stuff.

Welcome aboard. Needless to say, your knife experience will be HIGHLY transferrable to this hobby and I am sure this community will benefit from it. Looking forward to learning from you

Welcome aboard! Your work will be fun to see, and I look forward to seeing it. There's always room for one more.

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas! I just made a short post over in the OT section of your forums with a few pictures of what I normally do.
