| Well, keep in mid that myself and my top two cooks are vets. One who paid his student loans for Johnson and Wales with a tour in Iraq.I have a firm belief that military service gives you a leg up on the other guy in the kitchen. Why? Attention to detail and self discipline. As to knives, there are custom knifemakers galore out there. Having a manufacturing background, I would say you will need some schooling in metalwork, casting, forging, machining, grinding, and finishing. These are trades that most tech colleges seem to teach. But other bits such as metalurgy, pressure bonding and coating are usually college level engineering. If you really like metalwork, there are hundreds of paths to go down, and you could cook your way through an education in the trade. |
