Clinics
This year we will be offering private classes and clinics for people interested in getting into knife making as well as two public clinics in March and April. These are one, two and three day events where participants will make a knife from start to finish either through forging or stock removal, or focus on a specific part of knife making that they would like to learn more about.
The clinic will cover, forging (three day clinics), grinding, hardening, handling, blade finishing, sharpening and a brief look into the science of each of these processes. These clinics are hands on from start to finish and the sizes are limited to 1-4 people so there will be plenty of time for one on one instruction. Clinics will be held at our location in Lakeland Florida.
All of our clinics are private courses. we can facilitate up to a group of 6 people, feel free to contact us to set this up!
