Blade Forging Seminar with Crowell

Saturday I attended the NTBA 's seminar with James Crowel l, who I first met over 20 years ago at Hope Arkansas where he assisted at a seminar taught by Moran. This time I knew enough to understand what he was doing. Amazing. I wish I could have made it back for Sunday but hopefully the tapes will be available as some of the stuff he does on heat treating is very different from what I learn.



Mr. Crowell discussing edge geometry.



The rough blade of a 10" bowie - took him 25 minutes while talking about it. Seeing a master of his craft makes it look so easy and straight forward. At my level, not so much.
