Slipjoint Folder Class

Have you been wanting to make your own pocket knife?

If so, come take my two-day slipjoint class, where we’ll build one of my popular EDC-B pattern slipjoints together.

This class is open to all skill levels—from complete beginners who have never made a knife before to experienced makers who just want to hang out and build this knife.

The best way to describe this class is that we’ll build a knife together. The amount of hands-on work you’ll do depends on your experience level. If you’ve never made a knife before, there will be plenty of steps you can do yourself, while I’ll handle some of the more technical parts—like grinding the blade—that require more time and experience in the shop. If you already have knifemaking experience, you’ll take on more of the project yourself.

The class runs for two days, starting early Friday morning and finishing late Saturday afternoon. By the end, you’ll head home—hopefully—with a fully completed EDC-B pocket knife.

If you’re interested in taking the class, send me a message through my Contact page, or reach out via Facebook or Instagram Messenger.

What's the cost?

The cost of the two-day class is $850, which includes a completed EDC-B knife (valued at $425) and lunch on both Friday and Saturday.

Students are responsible for arranging their own travel, lodging, and any additional meals.

The class takes place in Saltillo, Mississippi. There are several nice hotels in nearby Tupelo, located about 5–10 miles away.

If unforeseen circumstances prevent us from completing the EDC-B by the end of class on Saturday, I will finish the knife afterward and mail it to you. Alternatively, you may choose to take the unfinished knife with you and complete it on your own.
