Hello WKT family! Alec here.
Recently I've been looking at relocating to a new shop space and it looks like I'll be moving in soon. I'm super excited to finally have a space of my own dedicated to making knives. This will mean a few things for you guys.
Shop Visits!
Yep, you heard that right! You all will finally be able to come see how the sausage is made so to speak. We will have open hours on certain days where we'll allow people to come to the shop, say hi, take a look around and even buy a knife from our showroom!
Knife Parties
Once every so often we'll be able to host get togethers where knife bros can be knife bros. Food, drinks and sharp stabby things!
Classes
This is a big one for me. I've wanted to teach classes for a long time but haven't been able to for numerous reasons. The whole reason I got started was because of a few fantastic people teaching a class and I want to be able to come full circle and give back. Not sure how the class structuring will work just yet but I'm excited to have the opportunity to teach finally.
How you can help
The next few months are going to be critical for WKT. As always, we couldn't do this without you and I am eternally grateful for all your support. With every blade purchased, every like, comment or share, you are quite literally helping me live my dream one tiny piece at a time. It's been my goal since I was 13 to make a living building awesome blades for awesome people and you guys (and gals) are the reason I can do what I'm doing. Thank you all so much.
Moving to a new shop requires a lot of capital investment. I will be trying to put out a drop of special edition blades semi monthly in a new product section called "Drop The Shop". 100% of all proceeds from these drops will go towards shop renovations and moving expenses. Your support would mean the world to me.
Thank you again,
