Knife Courses
We’re getting lots of requests for knife-making courses at the moment. There’s a number of blacksmiths and bladesmiths out there delivering these courses, and I’m sure they are all really good. But it’s not something we offer, because I’m increasingly concerned at the level of knife crime in the UK. There’s no excuse for carrying a blade in public. The skills required to make a knife blade are quite specific and intense, but they don’t cover the whole range of blacksmithing skills, so we prefer to make items on our courses where you will learn more techniques and go home with a beautiful, decorative and personalised item. No high horse, no campaign, it’s just not for us.
