I had wanted to make a knife for years, but I struggled to find the right place. My wife came across AK University after reading through the reviews and testimonials, and between that and my long-standing interest, we felt confident this was the right choice. From the moment the class started, it lived up to everything we hoped for.

What stood out most for me was the hands-on learning and the creativity. Getting on the grinder, shaping the blade, and staying focused was one part, but the real surprise was the creative side, especially working on the handle. Seeing the different materials, techniques, and visual options showed me how much personality you can build into a knife beyond the basics. The teaching style made a big difference. You are involved the entire time, learning by doing, not watching someone demonstrate and move on. I would absolutely recommend AK University to friends and family for anyone who wants a real, immersive knife-making experience.
