You
will come away with a unique one-of-a-kind knife and the knowledge and
experience that only Gil Hibben can provide.
Student Knife made in one of Gil's classes.
The classes will be limited to only four students per session, which will allow for a lot of individual attention. The classes will be held for five consecutive days from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. I will take you through the entire knife making process which includes design, operating a metal cutting band saw, grinding, heat treating, polishing, making the guard and pommel, shaping handles, and finishing with making a sheath and final sharpening.
We will even have a reception and dinner at my home where we can relax and get to know each other.
The classes will be held in my shop in LaGrange, KY. LaGrange is approximately 22 miles from downtown Louisville. There are four motels within five minutes of my shop, and they are very reasonably priced. Click HERE for locations of area hotels. There are also several Restaurants in the same area.
Click HERE for a map of the area and driving distances.
The fee for attending the five-day class is $995, which includes most materials and one (1) completed knife.
I can assure you that you will leave here having made a knife that you will be proud of.
You must be 18 years or older to attend the class.
