    I must say it was an absolutely Awesome experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a friendly smile and felt welcomed into the world of blade craftsmanship. The instructor leading the course was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also had a remarkable ability to convey information in an easily understandable manner. Whether you were a complete beginner or had some experience in knife making, the instructor's guidance catered to every level of expertise. They patiently addressed any questions or concerns anyone had, ensuring that everyone had a comprehensive understanding of the knife-making process. It was evident that their wealth of knowledge and experience in the craft truly benefited all participants. One of the highlights of this course was the opportunity to speak with Jake, the armourer. Learning from him about the different swords he was crafting and the historical significance behind each one was truly captivating. His passion for his work and his ability to share the intricate details of the swords he worked on added an extra layer of depth to the overall experience. I cannot express my gratitude enough to the entire Savage Custom Knives team. The course was both educational and enjoyable, and I left with a newfound appreciation for the art of knife making. The level of professionalism and expertise displayed throughout the course was truly commendable. I have no doubt that I will be returning for more courses in the future. Whether you are a knife enthusiast or simply interested in learning a fascinating craft, I highly recommend the Savage Custom Knives course. Trust me, it's an unforgettable experience that will leave you hungry for more! Once again, thank you to all the staff at Savage Custom Knives for providing such an exceptional experience. Keep up the fantastic work!

    Thankyou to Savage Custom Knives for a great experience. I attended the 2 day course with Shane as the instructor. He did an excellent job in explaining every step in the knife making process in a way that any level of competency could understand. I was very happy with the finished knife, it looks awesome and works great. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning knife making skills and techniques. Great class, thanks Shane and Savage Custom Knives.

    Took my father to the 1 day knife making class as a present. Had an absolutely fantastic time! The team were amazing, funny and really helpful. They walk you through every step and you can do as little or as much as you’re capable of/comfortable with. Super beginner friendly but they also have enough knowledge to keep you engaged if you are of a higher skill level. It was so fun watching the progress from start to finish too! It attracted a lovely group of people and despite being in a big group they still managed to pay attention to all of us individually. Overall the experience was amazing, I can’t wait to go back and complete another class there!
