Make your own knife! Learn how to make a knife; including stock removal, heat‐treating, wooden handle & leather sheath making, and sharpening.

Whether for work, camping, kitchen, backcountry, or bushcraft; this knife will serve you for years to come. Choose between making a bushcraft knife, chef's knife, or flat blade hatchet.

In this course you will make your own knife to take home using the stock removal method (not forging). You will also make the handle and sheath. The course fee covers all instruction and materials. The class size is kept small to allow for highly personalized instruction.

As an added bonus, this class is run simultaneously with the Wooden Bow Making Course in the same space to allow participants to be exposed to multiple crafts while focusing on one specific skill.
