The TKG supports events just like this to further the craft of knifemaking.

My goal is to provide an approachable learning environment where there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve made knives for years I promise you’ll walk away with a wealth of knowledge. Want to take your knifemaking to the next level? Come see what knifemaking is all about? This is going to be a great opportunity to learn from masters at our craft! The best way to better yourself is to surround yourself with driven, knowledgeable people that are willing to help you succeed. This is a chance to see tips and tricks from some of the best! Enjoy a full day of education from the Pros.  Come prepared to take pictures, ask questions, take notes and network with other makers.

Greg Coker & his lovely wife have graciously offered to let us use his shop/ranch for this event and he’s working alongside me to make it a success! Greg runs a nonprofit called Blades For Brothers and they’re doing great things for our vets using knifemaking as therapy and ministry.
