Create a Legendary Damascus Steel Knife
Our expectations were absolutely exceeded. We had a phenomenal day at a perfect venue with an encouraging team that seemed to be having as much fun as we were. The team at Craftsman gave us a great day--well crafted and well managed to get us from idea to a real damascus steel knife in one awesome day. In particular--the team coached us to do the work with almost everything on our plate. Power tools, band saws, sand belts and even the forge were all available to us and the adventure into craftmanship made the day disappear. We would 100% recommend. THANK YOU! -
