Don Fogg is the reason we as blade smiths are here today.  I truly believe Don is one of the most important figures in bladesmithing history.  If you are a custom knife maker you should hear his story.  What's more amazing about Don is that he would never say that about himself.  He's most humble and never seeks praise or attention.  But he deserves both.  Don had foresight, artistic ability, and a questioning mind.  Don may be most remembered for his teaching.  He shared without hesitation and that standard he set still holds true in the knife community.  He was in the very first class of Master Bladesmith's and led the way in the rediscovery of Damascus steel.  In fact he was the bladesmith who discovered the "W's" pattern.  Don dove into metallurgy, carving, and forging.  I am was lucky enough to see Don's work when he was in his prime.  I was even more fortunate to get to see him teach on multiple occasions.  I could go on forever.   Please just listen and share this podcast.  Thank you.  Josh
