Howdy yall,

I’m looking for a local bladesmith to collaborate with. I like to polish nice knives on nice stones. Usually I polish Japanese style clad kitchen knives, but I’m open to working on anything with suitable geometry and materials.

I’m looking to polish rough forged/ground knives at a volume of about 1 per month. I have no reference photos of my work since I have no patience with photography and struggle to capture the fine details of my finishes, so I was thinking I’d buy each knife and sell it back to the maker or some other deal like that. I also have small old lathe to barter if that suits.

Thanks!
