Incredible Experience All Around

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!

Great teacher

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!!

Fantastic experience - fun and learned so much!

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

Durable and stylish mug!

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!

White glossy mug

Perfect size coffee mug

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!

Black Glossy Mug

Super comfy and nice quality

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!

Magnacut 8" chef knife

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.

Mini Chef will be your new favorite kitchen knife.

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.

"Ocean Current" 5.5" Mini chef knife

What a great little knife!

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.

Quality Steel Meets Quality Craftsmanship

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.
