Knifemaking University

Knifemaking how-to video: Basic Bladesmithing by Ed Caffrey

Knifemaking University is unlike anything you've seen before - it's a complete program of 42 DVDs from the most talented artists and craftsmen in the field. We ship you 3 DVDs per month - keep them as long as you want, with no late charges! When you're ready for more, mail those DVDs back to us, and we'll send you the next 3 DVDs (you get up to 3 new DVDs each month).

With exciting, informative, well shot videos from names like Walter Sorrells, Harvey Dean, Ed Caffrey, Wally Hayes, Chris Reeve, and Jerome Anders that you can keep as long as you want, the ability to cancel at any time, and with a low monthly price of just $22.95 , this is a bargain that you can't afford to miss!

Commonly asked questions about Knifemaking University

Q: How many DVDs do I get at a time?

A: Up to three per month.

Q: Once I subscribe, can I quit?

A: Yes, you can quit at any time at all. Just send us an email and you're out - no more charges, ever.

Q: How much does it cost?

A: Just $22.95 . That's a huge savings over the $249.00 or so it would cost to buy three new DVDs each month, and a big savings over the normal rental cost.

Q: How much is shipping?

A: It's free!

Q: How much are late fees?

A: There are never any late fees!

Q: Can you clarify how the "three DVDs out-at-a-time, limit three per month" plan works?

A: Let's say you sign up on the 10th of the month. Your month then runs from the 10th of each month till the 10th of the next month. We'll make sure that you always have three new DVDs to watch in your home. We do it by sending out up to three DVDs during each month.

So, you sign up on the 10th. We mail you three DVDs immediately. If you return one of them a week later, we accept the return, but since we've mailed you three new DVDs this month, we wait until the next month. As soon as the 10th of the next month rolls around, we send you one DVD, so now you've again got 3 DVDs in your home. A week after that, you return two more dvds. We immediately replace them, so that you again have three dvds.

Q: Will my university subscription send me DVDs that I already ordered as a SmartFlix customer?

A: No! We track what you've already rented, and we won't send out duplicates.

Q: What order do I get the DVDs in?

A: We can't promise that you'll get the dvds in exactly the order listed below, but we do absolutely promise that we always send items out in an order that makes sense: you'll never get disk 2 in a set before disk 1. More generally, we use customer feedback to structure the universities in an order that makes sense - basic stuff first, then more advanced topics.

Q: There's a DVD (or two, or three) on the list that I don't want to see - can I subscribe to Knifemaking University, but somehow not get that DVD?

A: Sure thing! Just subscribe to the university, then send us an email telling us what DVDs you want to skip.

Q: This is a pretty awesome deal, isn't it?

A: Yes, it is!

The Knifemaking University is a great program. I'm fairly new to it. But, it has already saved me a significant amount of money. The savings, for me, comes from being able to watch hundreds of dollars worth of videos for the $12 fee. I'll definitely buy a few of the ones that I have watched, as they show skills that I need to review and spend a lot of time working on. The savings is that I don't have to buy an expensive video that I only needed to see once.

The other advantage to me is that I get to watch videos that I know I wouldn't have bought based on the advertising description. But, I find lots of useful and interesting info in them.

The 3/month schedule is a little slow for me, but that is a personal lifestyle thing. I'm sure that it would be good for most people.

I have been using Knifemaking University for sometime now. My DVDs come on time and have had no problem with quality, it's been well worth it to have joined.

I tried Netflix but could never find anything I wanted to view. Most of the Hollywood movies are such a waste of time. Smartflix is the opposite .. I want to see hundreds of them.

I have been getting 3 DVD's per month for a while. At first I thought I should get more per month but I found that I like watching them several times during the month so three a month seems to work out well.

I would like the opportunity to select the ones I get first rather than get some I am less interested in. Some DVD's are part of sets and it might be nice to select the set together rather than wait to see the next DVD.
