| About GLENVIEW FORGE: MY NAME IS PHIL EVANS. I HAVE BEEN MAKING KNIVES FOR OVER TEN YEARS. I MADE MY FIRST KNIFE IN 1995 AND HAVE BEEN HOOKED EVERY SINCE. I AM A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN BLADE SMITH SOCIETY, AND IN THE SUMMER OF 2006 ATTENDED THE INTRO TO BLADE SMITHING CLASS IN OLD WASHINGTON, ARKANSAS, WHERE I WAS TRAINED IN THE ART OF FORGING FROM NOTABLE MASTER SMITHS JIMMY CROWELL AND BRUCE FULLER. BOTH OF WHOM TAUGHT ME AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF INFO ON FORGING, HEAT TREATING AND MAKING DAMASCUS. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING TOWARDS MY JOURNEYMAN SMITH RATING. I HAVE PASSED THE FIELD TEST AND WILL GO TO ATLANTA IN JUNE TO HAVE MY KNIVES JUDGED AND HOPEFULLY RECEIVE MY FULL JS RATING. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WANT ME TO START BUILDING YOUR NEXT HAND FORGED KNIFE. |
