    Default Puukko Knife Class...Sept 10-13, 2009

    Okay, I know it's not exactly razors, but I have seen folks shave with this kind of knife.

    My friend Kay Vikstrom from Finland is coming over to each a class at my shop. The reason I post this is that the processes for making any blade will be covered. From forging, grinding through heat treatment, handles and leather sheath. No previous experience is required. Kay is a most excellent teacher and master smith.

    Cost will be 150 USD plus materials, usually 25 depending on leather prices and the cost of the birch shipped in. You will leave with a knife in hand.

    My shop is located just outside Cannon Falls MN.

    Any questions you can PM or email crforge (at) frontiernet (dot) net.

    I know there are some here interested in other kinds of blades and I didn't want anyone to feel left out. If you're in this class, I'll answer any questions about razors/steels that I know the answers to, for free!

    Mike

    Maybe this should be in the forum "The Workshop" ?

    Awesome! I hope you like the scandinavian design and can pick up useful techniques for yourself. Wish I could be there. =)

    Whoops. I forgot I posted this announcement here!

    Unfortunate circumstances have changed this class date until next spring. Likely March or April. Kay has been coming over here for five years or so for classes. It's been my good pleasure to host him during those times.

    I'll keep anyone interested, posted about changes as they occur.
