My daughter is homeschooled and I recently started back making knives after a 7 year Hiatus. She has shown interest in knifemaking and I have started teaching her , we are using this as her shop class. She just turned 15 and is doing very well. I taught her how to draw out her design and lay it out on the steel, then she learned how to cut the blade out on the bandsaw. Next we scribed the centerline and laid out he holes to drill. She is a little intimidated by the grinder so I am helping in that area. I told her the next knife she would grind. Well she wanted to embellish it with filework so i laid it out showing her how to file and I must say I'm a very proud father this is literally the first time she has ever filed anything.Its not perfect but a great start. I have attached pictures below
