    Attended the survival knife making class. I was not sure what to expect but this place exceeded every expectation I had. The studio was very neat & well-organized, all the equipment in good order and all of it in a very relaxed atmosphere. There are even some places to grab a snack or a drink nearby. But the best of all was our instructor, Shiloh. She knew a great deal about knife smithing and was excellent at sharing it with us. Last, this sees like I would be a great date place as well as a great parent/kid experience. I cannot say enough good things.
