    I want a knife forged but don't know any blade smiths that are still forging here in Indiana. Some years ago Saylors was in Mooresville, Damlovic in Plainfield, the guy that ran the carry-out in Brownsberg, just to give 3. I know there are new guys out there with their Masters or Journeyman stamp living in Indiana. I would like a few names if possible. I want someone that can do a double edge spear point hollow ground blade, integral guard long low profile, and handle with scales made of bone or horn, butt cap with a lanyard hole in it integral to knife. I am looking at 1095 or Damascus

    I've got a summer intern working for me that he and his brother make custom knives. His brother is on Facebook, James Kalkbrenner. I can get you in touch with Grant if interested. They do good work and are really fine young men.

    That is nice. I love doing hidden tangs. Maybe we should start a thread with just forged knives? Last week was really crappy for me, so I decided to just take Friday night and Sunday for some hot steel therapy. Ended the session with a 9 inch re-curve. 1095 and 15n20 full tang with stabilized walnut for the handle.
