Steve McCarthy Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Google Ozark Knife Makers. Tom McGinnis is a great guy. He has several classes each year. I took a pipe hawk class there 3 years ago taught by Bill Keeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pug}{maN Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 The one at the blade Smith society is two weeks long and they just make blades not the handles from what I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pug}{maN Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yeah introduction to blade smithing is two weeks . Then you have to go back and take a one week class to make handles . I can't do 3 weeks in approaching $2000! I need about a one week class that teaches me how to make a knife from start to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
