If you’ve watched Forged in Fire, then you probably know Pete Winkler, one of the earliest Forged in Fire champions (back when the competition was tougher because they were all experienced blacksmiths and bladesmiths).

Anyhow, Pete has always been a huge supporter of my blacksmithing career. From giving me knife handle material and coaching, he’s my highlight at SOFA Quadstate.  He saw my blacksmith knives that I entered into the competition and wanted to buy one.

What a privilege! Love you, Pete!
