I really enjoyed the knife making class. I was surprised that we got the knife done so quickly. I ended up with a 90 layer damascus chef's knife. It was sharpened at 17° edge and is perfect for meal prep. I brought a knife from home to show Mike. Mike tailored the class to match my expectations. I am not new to bladesmithing but I was new to making damascus. The knife is beautiful and perfectly functional. Thanks Mike for your patients with me. I know I can get distracted and you kept me on course.
