axes, swords and knives

[theletch1]

The history channel is running a show called Axes, Swords and Knives right now. It's discussing the history of the above and even went into a swordsmith shop in the Adirondacks to show (roughly) how one was made. I've always been fascinated by blade smithing. Anyone know of a smith around the Roanoke, Va area looking for an apprentice?

I saw that special; its an oldie that has been aired before, but still very interesting.

Good luck on finding a bladesmith...they are rare these says.

Perhaps check bladeforums.com, and inquire there
