Our knife making courses are designed to give you the opportunity to explore different traditional bladesmithing techniques. Using a higher carbon steel, you will hand forge a rats-tail style handle and the blade. Once the forging has been completed and your new, for life, knife, has cooled, we will take you through the steps of grinding a bevel edge on your knife, using our Engineering Shop Master Belt grinder. You can then, take your knife home to sharpen.
A hearty lunch, all snacks and drinks are all included, along with materials and fuel for the coke fires.
You can reschedule your experience day anytime up to two weeks before you are due to attend by getting in touch with us via our contact page.
In the unlikely event you wish to cancel, 50% of your booking cost will be refunded. Please get in touch via our contact page to cancel.
Gift voucher are non-refundable.
