Saturday, October 2, 11am-3pm at McKissick Museum
Meet the Makers and Community Knife Sharpening Event
Bladesmiths from North Carolina and South Carolina whose work is featured in Carolina Knives: The Roots of a Revival will gather throughout the day to talk with each other and visitors about the contemporary custom knifemaking movement. Simultaneously, Kyle George–the grandson of George Herron—considered the grandfather of the knifemaking revival in the Carolinas–will host a community knife sharpening event. Visitors are invited to bring a knife or two—perhaps those they plan to use at Thanksgiving—and see how it is transformed by the use of a grinder or try their hand at more humble methods of knife sharpening they can use at home.
