Dates will be October 8th and 9th. You must have already attended the Basic Knifemakers Class to be eligible. There are only 3 spots left for this class.

Cost would be $225 per person. There is a $75 non refundable deposit due by September 15th. I will also need to know your handle material choice and steel thickness choice by then.

This workshop would cover all aspects of making your own scandivex ground (like the EO1 series) knife, or chisel ground knife, and would include the following:

Your choice of either 1/8" x 1 1/2" x 12", or 3/16" x 1 1/2" x 12" piece of O1 steel (be sure the pattern you bring will fit these parameters)

Choice of handle material from the following list:

Tiger maple
Maple burl
Birdseye maple
Rosewood
Curly maple
Teak
Walnut
Bocote
Zircote
Olivewood
Mesquite
Bloodwood
Black canvas micarta
Tan canvas micarta

Choice of aluminum or brass pins

Lunch, soft drinks, and water each day

What you will need to bring:
Glasses
Dust mask
Proper clothing (no shorts or sandals)
A good attitude
Open mind. I may not make knives like others you have seen, I have my own methods.
A cardboard cutout of your knife pattern
Camera if you want to bring one

Keep in mind, these could be long days!

is this a online class??

Yes, John has a videographer follow him around the shop while he makes our knife of choice. The footage is live streamed on the 8th & 9th of October. He then calls each of our local Jimmy Johns and has sandwiches delivered right to our house!

Ok I made that all up. It's a hands on class at the JK shop!

I hired Brad Pitt to play my part in the video. My dogs will be played by Marmaduke, Beethoven, Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, and Benji.
 
This is cancelled, I'm starting a weekend night job on the 23rd. Friday through Sunday 6pm to 6am.
 
Thanks for the update John. Sorry things haven't picked up here for you. Good luck at the new job!
