COY MAKES HIS FIRST KNIFE

Seven year old Coy tagged along with his dad, Greg, to Landon's shop one Saturday not knowing he was going to make his own knife.  He watched the adults work for a while and then Landon asked him if he thought he could do it, too.  He knew all the steps as a fan of the A&E show Forged in Fire - forge blade, temper (heat-treat) blade, attach guard, and attach handle.  Without hesitation he was soon forging his blade with the boost from an ammo can so he could reach the anvil.
