Grab a couple of mates and give Karim a call on 02 6235 5622 to arrange something that does fit with you. Minimum numbers for a custom course depends on the course - 3 for Bladsmithing and Knifemaking, 2 for Damascus,  or 4 for Sharpening. Prices are the same as the other courses.

We'll be only too happy to help.

The Australian Knifemakers Guild aims to promote, preserve and develop the craft of knifemaking and all its various disciplines to the highest standard possible. Members regularly meet at knife shows to share ideas and inspiration on their latest creation.

Joining the guild is a great way to improve your skills and networks as a custom knifemaker. Probationary members must meet certain standards of fit and finish on their blades before being accepted as full members.
