Visit a Knife Maker in Your Area
The following is a list of knife makers who are willing to have people visit their shops. Since this is the Newbies Arena most of the visitors may be raw beginners so be sure to specify the level of experience (or inexperience) you are willing to deal with if you decide to add your name to this list.
Please list what you feel competent to teach (what do you make?), what time you have available for teaching, and what you want in exchange for your time (money, beer, chickens). Please DO NOT list your email addresses, physical street address, or phone number here. List your city, state, and any information on your general area that you feel is helpful. This will help to protect you from SPAM and maybe from someone just dropping in unexpectedly. Make sure your KNET profile is filled out to allow Private Messages. Anyone who wants to visit a maker should start the process by sending a PM, then you can exchange info through direct email as necessary. And please, include your real name unless you have reason to believe it's a state secret! The following is a summary of the maker's listings arranged by state. For more complete info on one of these makers look for his posting in this thread: CANADA Jim Clow Alberta, Canada 403-362-1015 We have a T.N.K.N.
