    Default Good knife making courses - JHB area

    So I am helping a black lady out with a valentine's gift for her boyfriend.

    The dude has his own business, customising cars. The guy has serious money, so taking him away for a weekend or so won't cut it, she wants something out the box. So I suggested send him on a knife making course.

    So who presents good courses, where you make your own knife? Joburg area is preferable, but anywhere in Gauteng will do.

    I looked at the guild, but there isn't a lot of info on courses.
