Classes
We are now scheduling private lessons
We offer a one-day lesson for $400 for up to two people, and $100 for each extra person up to ten total. You can choose to make a railroad spike knife, a small hammer-back tomahawk (be ready to work HARD for this one), bottle openers, or a copper and steel ladle. Also if you have a specific project in mind, let us know, and we will see if we can make it happen.
We always recommend the railroad spike knife as a first project and as the best project for large groups. The knives are challenging enough, but achievable, very fun to make, and they always turn out great.
Please keep in mind that we can only teach one project per class session
We also have a two-day knife lesson for $700 for two people with an additional $200 for each extra student, up to four total. In this lesson, you'll make a knife from 5160 spring steel, learning about design and forging on the first day, then grinding, handling, and sharpening on the second day.

Our calendar fills up fast and we are often booking private classes about three months in advance. Please take that into consideration if you are planning for a particular date.
