3 Generations, a husband, and maybe a lesson learned in the forge. Great class with these 4, and maybe one of them got to make a knife twice. It's all good!

Ben was back to work on his Morgul Dagger! Today he fit and rough shaped the guard. More work next time, but it always fun when you can see the vision coming together!

Anniversary Knifemaking! Really fun couple in the forge tonight! They were celebrating their 11th wedding anniversary, which coincidentally is steel and they had no idea. They both made beautiful knives!

David and his son Griffen were back to make Billet Knives today! They live in New York, but visit Northern Michigan in the summer. It's becoming a tradition of them stopping in the forge on their way back. They both made fantastic knives today! Griffen has a kitchen knife with a walnut handle. And David picked a Fordite handle for his kitchen knife.
