You can make a knife. From scratch. In this video bladesmith Walter Sorrells talks about making his first knife with minimal tools...and how you can do it, too. In fact, the main tool you'll need to get started is a rusty old file! He's producing a new streaming course aimed at folks starting exactly where he did when he started his knife making journey a quarter century ago: no tools, no gear, no knowledge, no workshop. The idea of his course is to save you all the money, time and aggravation that he wasted figuring it out.
In this episode of Knife Maker's Friday Five, Walter also talks about upcoming knives he's working on, and reads a great letter from a viewer.
