The experience was amazing! They really take the time with each person to ensure you know what you are doing. This class was perfect for anyone who wants to get into knife making or if you just have an interest in it like I did. It provides an amazing perspective for their level of skill, character, and the work they put into what they do. They didn’t rush, skip steps or show any frustration with us. They took the time to share their knowledge, explain everything and help you as much or as little as you needed. Plus they help out in the end to ensure you still go home with a quality knife, which was something I was worried about since I was going in with no experience. You leave with more than a quality knife. You earn a real knowledge of what goes into making a knife, an appreciation for the work they do, and you feel like an extension of their family. I will definitely be back next year!
If you spend time watching knife reviews, you aren’t really learning anything but someone’s opinion. Instead, sign up for one of Dawson’s
Grind-in’s. I participated in the moderate class offered in 2020 and found it to be both rewarding and instructive. I came away with a life long memory of this event and challenged myself. The staff treats you like family and is ready to jump in and assist you at a moments notice. Nobody expects you to be an expert knife maker from a class or two and that’s ok. The best part is you get to go home with a blade you made yourself. The best part for me is that I made a heirloom knife that will last a lifetime and can pass it to my granddaughter someday.
