Frequently Asked Questions

This masterclass is designed for everyone, from absolute beginners who have never touched a grinder to seasoned professionals looking to refine their techniques and learn the specific processes used at Hoback Customs.
The Hoback Customs Masterclass is a monthly subscription. This model allows us to continuously add new content, including new knife builds, techniques, and live Q&A sessions, ensuring the knowledge base is always growing.
We cover a wide range of techniques, from simple hand tools to advanced CNC machining. While you can complete many projects with a basic setup (a grinder, drill press, and hand files), we'll also help you use CAD and CAM for those with access to more advanced equipment.
The Masterclass is live now! You can enroll immediately and start watching today.
