Can be worked with ordinary woodworking tools and equipment. Beautiful textures and colour variations emerge on contoured grips.

The A.K.C has developed an identity inducing new makers into this burgeoning (essentially "cottage') industry since 1991. Over the years, scores of would-be makers got started via the AKC, which also provide critiques and appraisals on first knives made by novices. Please phone (08 9572 7255) prior to sending knives for review. Return postage (satchel) is required.
