2-Day Friction Folder Knife Making Course

For one week only, Murrill Forge is offering a rare opportunity to craft your own friction folder knife under the expert guidance of Steve Armstrong of Field and Steel. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced maker looking to refine your skills, we have a course tailored for you.

We’ll be running two separate 2-day courses:

🔹 Beginner Course (£595) – 7th & 8th July: Perfect for those new to knife-making, guiding you through every step of the process with hands-on instruction.

🔹 Intermediate Course (£545) – 9th & 10th July: Designed for those with some prior experience, focusing on precision, refinement, and advanced techniques.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Take a look at what the course will consist of with our handy overview:

📝 Design & Layout – Plan and sketch your knife for optimal function and aesthetics

⚙️ Mechanism Creation – Understand the mechanics behind a friction folder and craft a smooth, reliable action
