Knife making Tuition?

[plastic-ninja]

Hi all.
I’m looking for a good one or two day knife making course in the North of England.
I went & forged an axe with Dave Budd & totally loved it. Now I want to do one or ideally two kitchen knives for myself in high carbon steel & use some Jabroc for the handles. It’s a six-eight hour drive to the Buddlands, so I’m wondering if there is anyone nearer. Thanks in advance,
Simon

I'd like to point out i haven't done the course, and anything north of Watford is northern to me....

I can recommend Hammer and Hound forge in Northumberland, I did a one day axe course and loved it!
Really nice knowledgeable and enthusiastic fella

Thanks for the suggestion. Not to be disparaging but I really want to forge my own blade(s) rather than use a grinder to get the form. It’s as much for the fun of forging as the end result.
Cheers, Simon

Looks promising.
I must point out that I would be trying to set this up with Dave Budd if I lived nearer but it’s pretty much a day travelling to get there. I love my axe that I forged but want to try a kitchen knife.

come on, you know it would be worth the trip down again!

I know it's a long treck, but that's just part of a holiday
