Just a reminder that this is who you could be taking a class with or buying a knife from.... Just saying.

Just one more look at this set 😊 They are on their way to be immortalized by the one and only @sharpbycoop I cannot wait to see what kind of magic he works on them!

I am very pleased to announce my new class, forged roses! Come use hammer and heat to create your own never wilting flower! This class is great for couples and groups wanting a fun night learning a craft! This class can be scheduled for any weeknight and I am able to accommodate groups of up to 6! Cost is $100 per person and participants should be 13 or older with supervision or 18 or older. Send me a message to set up your evening rose class!

Here's another sweet brut chef I finished recently 😊 1084 steel with brass bolsters, brass and G10 spacer, and black richlite handle. Thanks for looking!

And finally! Glamor and detail shots of the big chef knife. Blade and integral bolster are made from composite twisted 1095 and 15N20. Blade is 9" long and just shy of 2.25" wide at the heel. Overall length is just over 14.5". You might be able to see a whisper of a hamon in the center of the blade. Unintentional, but still kinda cool. And in hindsight it makes sense given the material choice and the thickness I quenched this blade at. Handle is 6 sided wa inspired in shape and made from stellar spalted mango from @robswildwood and a black/white/black G10 spacer.

Glamor and detail shots of the medium chef knife. Blade and integral bolster are made from composite twisted 1095 and 15N20. Blade is 7" long and 2" wide at the heel. Overall length is just over 11.5". I especially love the detail right at the heel in the damascus. The pattern converges right into the corner. Handle is 6 sided wa inspired in shape and made from stellar spalted mango from @robswildwood and a black/white/black G10 spacer.

I got to spend my Easter weekend teaching my favorite person and a few new fun folks how to make knives! That's a pretty good way to spend a holiday if you ask me! Check my website for future class dates!

I have another beginner bladesmithing class this weekend, and I currently have 3 spots still available! So if you don't have any Easter plans (or want a better one), hop on over and learn to make a knife!
