Charles Galway has made dozens of custom-style knives from knife blanks (pre-ground blades). This is an easy way to start making your own custom knives by selecting handle materials and shaping to your own preferences.

This class covers some basic information about knife making as well as the workshop of putting one together. Some supplies are included but the student will need to obtain their own blade blank.
