Learn to Build your own Knives!
If you have taken a knife class in the past and want to expand your knife arsenal and knife building skills, this is a great class to help you accomplish both goals. In this class, you will get two 5” Santoku knife frames, scale materials to choose from, aluminum pins, a set of carving burrs and a package of Micro Mesh sanding pads. Unlike past knife classes, you will receive 2 knives with the goal of finishing one in the class and having all the necessary tools and skills to build the second knife on your own. These knives are from the same company that makes beautiful Damascus style knives and happens to be a Guild sponsor. Katsura Cutlery has supplied us with knife blanks over the years, and you can rest assured, these paring knives will last you for generations. The knives come in a presentation box that you will be able to keep your finished knife in and are great for giving as a gift to a loved one or a friend.
