Cool Grind Ins & Shop Tours

As some of you know, my dad, Don Cowles, is an established knife maker. Unfortunately, he lives in Michigan, I live in South Carolina, and we usually see each other at the Blade Show or if someone is getting married and that's about it.

I have had a lifelong love of knives and have had a growing fascination with knife design and making. I have pretty severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and it and the expense have been my main reasons for not trying my hand at knife making. I have watched new guys here start with hand tools and make good quality knives.

We have a number of makers in the Carolinas, and I would be thrilled to attend a Grind In or spend a day with a maker, or six, in their shops. I am sure I am not alone in this.

If this is something you would be interested in, as a maker or as a new maker, please let others on the forum know in this thread regardless of your location. As I said, I am sure I am not alone and most of us get as much joy from sharing our passions, as others do from learning about them!

Thanks
