Welcome to our latest Probationary member. Paul Gloyne from Southern NSW.

Paul passed his assessment with our NSW state rep Adam Fromholtz knifeman / fromholtz knives with this clean and classic set of three.
Keeping things simple and focusing on basics like good fit ups and hand sanding, while showing a variety of construction techniques (hidden and full tang) is a great way to approach the proby assessment.

Congratulations Paul! Glad to have you on board!
