Ron,

Congratulations on your daughter's engagement, upcoming wedding and what sounds like a fine future son-in-law!

Your craftsmanship is beautiful.

Here in North Carolina, there is a tradition of knife making. We see examples of this work regularly here at some of the shows I attend.

One of our community colleges (Montgomery community college in Troy NC) has a knife making program that is well regarded. You're probably beyond much of what they teach.

I believe that you can get damascas steel blanks from a number of foundry suppliers in India and other middle eastern locations. That would allow you practice on less expensive supplies.
