In this skilled class, you will make the “two brothers” knives—two knives with handles made of two very different materials and inlaid with silver. Morten says he will provide you with the best Norwegian handles available! The leather sheath's will include a silver band on the edge and be decorated using the “pauting” technique. There will be a materials fee of $200.
