The Northwest Chapter of the Guild of Bookworkers
Presents the following workshop:

MAKING AND SHARPENING KNIVES

This class is an intensive introduction to one of the
most basic human tool making activities- making and
keeping an edge tool sharp. Participants will be
provided the materials, instruction and equipment to
make several knives of their choosing, and to sharpen
any type of edge tool they bring with them.  The
specific needs of bookbinders will be examined -paring
knives, lifting knives, spokeshaves and board shear
blades.  A wide variety of sharpening systems will be
available for experimentation. Examples of Jeff's
knives can be found at:
