Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2020 Hi everybody, I teach knife making classes to adults and kids. Here are the kids from my latest class. Everyone had a blast and everyone went home with a blade ready for a handle (and all their fingers). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2020 Mike, we do have what they call "blue steel" and we do have blue handle material, it's really too bad you can't take a class. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
