  1. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with us, Mr. Marks. I'm trying to get into bladesmithing, and while I have a good knowledge base from my father, my own research, and metalworking classes I took in school, it thrills me to be able to read someone's first-hand experience and gain practical information. Again, thank you very much.

  3. I like making hooks, they're useful, quick, limited in scope only by your imagination, and can be made from small bits of metal cluttering up the shop. It hadn't really occurred to me that they'd be easy to sell. You have a very nice website, thank you for your time and information.
