HSC /// Knives
KKF Supporting Craftsman
good day all,
hope everyone is enjoying this time of the year in good health and with loved ones.
Yesterday a KKF post came up that made me a realize I had not updated everyone properly.
WTB - Hsc3 Knives
I use primarily Instagram to communicate but I know not everyone uses IG.
Anyway, in short, I have moved to France to live permanently.
I made this decision to do so earlier this year around summer time, I was here in France for 6 months.
I sold my house In Arizona in October, moved in December and purchased a suitably sized village house in the south of France in Rivesaltes.
At this time I have no shop setup there, I'm waiting for equipment and supplies to arrive and I need electricity and lighting and workbenches etc etc.
I have a shop near Paris at my partner's house. I will maintain this shop as there are often people interested in taking a 1-2 day lessons in knifemaking so I want to continue to offer these classes near Paris. I suspect I will need all of January to get setup in the Rivesaltes shop, this will be my main operation.
Then I will work on a limited basis for a few months as I will be immersing into French language lessons, and there's alot of French administrative things required to b done.
I moved for several reasons, the relevant one here is that I want to improve my work, but I need to do it in a relaxed manner and I believe this move will facilitate this.
Right now I'm in limbo waiting for things and trying to get the new house setup. I'm a bit bored and itching to get into the shop and work on a knife. This confirms to me that I like what I do, and I want to do it better.
So while I'm not US based anymore, think of me as an American bladesmith in France.
I'm happy to answer any questions...
and here’s some pics so this post isn’t boring
