What we offer 

Border Blades offers a variety of knife making and leather sheath making workshops. Weekend knife making workshops usually run for a full day on Saturday and half a day on Sunday. The leatherwork classes are a half day class where the focus is on making a knife sheath.  The knife workshops include all raw materials to produce your knife, lunch on the Saturday and morning tea on the Sunday is also included. The leather workshops include all materials to make a knife sheath. These workshops are run by Randy Katsoolis a passionate and creative blade smith. Randy is a full member of the Australian Knifemakers Guild. He gains a great deal of pleasure from sharing his skills and helping others to create their own knife, a functional knife that will last for generations.

 Workshops

Small groups of 1 to 3 (usually 2) people are catered for in a personal hands on approach to creative knife making. You will be guided and supported through every step of the process to ensure your time in our workshops is exceeding your expectations.
