This was my first time making a knife. Gabe was absolutely amazing in making sure he went over all the steps and taught me how to do it right. He was patient, understanding and most of all fun to be around. He would allow you to do as little or as much as you wanted during the process. The class is like having your friend teaching you something he loves to do. Though it's a two day class, it never felt long. He also made lunch for us both days and it was really good. This knife will be an heirloom to my kids. Recommend this class for anyone interested in knife making!
Gabe is very knowledgeable and provided so much insights into the intricacies of bladesmithing. Such a great class and a great host; highly recommend to anyone with any interest in knives. I love my knife and will cherish it!
Gabe is a great teacher. He takes all the time needed and then some to be sure you get the training needed. I have never worked on a forge or with some of the other tools he trained me on. He goes into great detail to help you understand how the different metals and methods work and react.
I would like to personally thank you Gabe for the training!!
I completely recommend you take a class with Gabe. He is full of knowledge and experience and very willing to share. He is a great teacher, practical and helpful. His work is excellent and getting to visit his shop is a budding knifemaker's dream.
I got to use a power hammer for the first time - it was SO cool!
This is Maker's "Disney Land" for people who like to create. His shop is definitely my 'happy place'. I can't wait to take a longer class and make another knife.
THIS IS A CRAZY GOOD DEAL
I love a good sized coffee mug that is stylish and durable and this is both!
The ceramic is thick, allowing you to have either a nice hot cup of coffee, hot cup of soup, or even a cold beverage without transferring the temperature to you. And the handle on the mug is of perfect size, so you're not fumbling trying to pick it up nor does your entire hand go through it.
The logo is clean and under the gloss, allowing you to run it through the dishwasher without worrying about it fading.
The white mug allows the logo to show much better than the black mug does, of course, but then you do have to worry about those awful drips of coffee down the side as you drink it. Lol
Nice addition to my coffee mug collection!

The black mug doesn't show the blue parts of the logo quite as much, if not in a well-lit area, but still looks really cool. On the flip-side though, you don't have to worry about the coffee drips as you drink your morning cup o' joe!
Nice addition to my coffee mug collection!
Sizes definitely run one size smaller than you would normally wear, especially if you like that baggy, comfy feel for a hoodie. I purchased the military green and the logo colors were a perfect combination!
Embroidered logo is clean with no fraying. Lining of the hoodie is nice and soft and the lining is the same in the pocket too! The hoodie is a good medium weight where you can wear it on a cold day, but don't have to take it off the moment you walk inside. The hood on it is much thicker than the rest of the hoodie, providing a good layer if you're outside in the wind or get caught by a light rain.
I don't buy many hoodies as I'm pretty picky, but if I find a good one I'll pretty much live in it. So far, I've worn this one everyday!
My wife and I had a fantastic time! Gabe is great to work with; very patient and professional. Great conversation as well. Highly recommend!
I love my knife. Not only that the customer service is something you only hope to get from a custom knife maker.
I got a magnacut and I'm ordering a one of a kind custom as a returning customer. From here on our anything I need comes from doberman.
My absolute favorite knife! I have quite a few in my collection and this is my favorite daily driver by far! Beautiful comfortable handle and amazing edge. A blast to sharpen.
Incredibly well built and light as a feather, you will find yourself using this knife more than anything else you own. It is my favorite knife to use for cooking.
Perfect small EDC fixed blade knife. Perfect clipped into the pocket or on a belt or boot. Tough enough to handle anything you throw at it.
I'm super satisfied with my purchase!
The Magnacut steel really shines in the kitchen since it's not only strong and also resistant to corrosion (not corrosion proof, mind you). To have this combined with the great fit and finish of a Doberman Forge knife makes this kitchen tool a keepsake that you can proudly pass down.
