BOOK A CLASS, YOUR NEXT BLADE IS CALLING

Henshaw Blades maintains a fully-equipped workshop in a luxurious Muskoka setting on the water. We offer a variety of classes through partner schools to help students along their knifemaking journeys. No matter your skill level, let us take you further into knifemaking.

Craig is excited to announce that he will return this summer to Fleming College in Haliburton to teach not one, but TWO courses in June and July of 2023.  

Come learn how to forge your own knife with me in a smaller class environment where every student gets their own workstation.
