The Carrot River area is known as Saskatchewan’s Outback for its natural beauty that offers outdoor enthusiasts many opportunities for hiking, fishing, hunting and camping.
It is a fitting place to be where Grant crafts custom knives to make the most of those outdoor experiences. An outdoor enthusiast has an opportunity to make their own knife at one of the weekend knifemaking workshops that Grant offers which are open to all interests and skill levels.
Workshops are offered in limited numbers which allows Grant to share the art of knifemaking in one-on-one instruction. His passion and friendly nature create a sense of ease in his small and well-organized shop. Step by step participants learn to craft their own knife from raw materials.
Grant says the knives you create with him are not just tools but works of art that can be passed down for generations.
