I recently had the honor of instructing the first of it's kind class in the lovely town of Auburne, Maine.

   
   
   
   

This is some of the week's work of the class.

Wow. That's fantastic. Everybody involved should be proud. You should be proud of the students and their work, and the students should be proud of the instructor and the things he taught them to do. Great work. Congratulations.

Lin, you are an amazing knifemaker!

Thank you sirs.

I was in an impromptu cutting competition recently using my project knife from the class (pictured above). It was set up in teams with the maker as coach and partner cutting. Team X-Rhea won.    :goldtooth:
