I'm Jim Walker, No, not the Master Bladesmith from Arkansas or the Journeyman Smith from Texas. I'm the guy from Iowa that makes all kinds of Stuff. Check out my web site at: centervillestoneandsteel.com  I' 68 and still hand forge all my own blades, even the Damascus ones. I triple Quench triple draw all my knives and the balance is where it should be on my knives. Bill Moran taught me how to make Damascus and I love making the stuff.
