Fantastic experience!
The instructor was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and friendly, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. I left with new skills and a deeper appreciation for the craft. Highly recommend

The guys absolutely loved this experience. Could not stop thanking me for setting this up for them. The hooks they made were beautiful and they were on his website as soon as they got home checking out all the other experiences offered and items to purchase. Looking forward to making knives next visit! Mike was an amazing host, went above and beyond and is very talented.
