Hey Custom Knife fans!
We were thrilled to have Burt back for another sucessfull class here at The New England School of Metalwork. The class concept was to make a complete knife without the use of a grinder in 5 days giving the students all the skills required to make a great knife in their own shop without spending thousands of dollars on equipment. If you have met Burt you know that he is one of the nicest guys in the business. I am now working at NESM full time and had the pleasure of being Burt's teaching assistant. He was a class act all the way. Perhaps a little too obsessed with Maine's state beverage; Allan's Coffee Brandy and Milk(known as a Burnt Trailer) but we can let that slide.
If you haven't heard of the New England School of Metalwork, check out our website or like us on Facebook. We offer some of the best bladesmithing, welding, blacksmithing and casting classes in the country for any skill level with on site dorm rooms and a sweet facility. We have a bunch of stuff knife related stuff coming up such as;
