That is one sweet pedigree. Al was the best at modern wootz.
Too bad I don't do Facebook. Do you have anything on Instagram?

Mross, I do have an IG account @buffaloriverforge , it has very few posts and only pictures of a few knives which I have kept from my early years. Unfortunately I photographed very few blades.. a fact I continually kick myself for..

I have been focusing on mentoring other smiths and research for several years, which I find very rewarding, but I am looking forward to getting back into making knives. I am setting my shop back up after some health struggles and a few inconvenient moves, and all going well will be posting some good patterns and blades in the coming year.
