A very non-comprehensive list of Aussie knifemakers, mostly on IG. I started off having them just randomly lobbed on the list, but it grew so quickly (I had NO idea there were this many) that I’ve split it into states for no other reason than I had to split it up somehow, and some of them run courses, so having one near you for that might be good.
Happy to add to the list if you want to throw URLs at me.
