knife making course?

[the mole trapper]

Wondering if anyone knows of somewhere i could go on a course to learn this fantastic art, i am aware a lot of it is natural flair and years of practice, but even the masters went somewhere to learn the rudementaries.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers J.

You might also be interested in the free DVD on making a knife from a file by Green Pete. Here's link to the page on his website that explains it and has links to the DVD download:

There was a review of one of his courses posted on this forum somewhere...

If theres a reviews section, im sure it was in there!

Having had a look around at Dave's set up, seen his wares, sampled Dave & Charlotte's hospitality and know people with his creations. Another Dave Budd recommendation
I hope to have saved enough to go on a course one day. I've made a couple of my own knives but nothing beats forging your own blade.

You're not going to find too many of them on this site!

 

[Dave Budd]

unfortunately they always have their other halfs on tow and I get the male attention more fully
