CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL
Level 1: For beginners or those who are less technically skilled. The handle is pre-made, and you’ll start by finishing the knife. Perfect if you have no prior experience with woodworking or metalworking.
Level 2: For those with experience in wood and/or metalworking. You’ll start from a square steel plate (300mm x 70mm) and create your own design from scratch. You’ll also craft the handle entirely yourself from a solid block of wood.
KNIFE SHARPENING
2h - Max. 10 participants - Kampenhout
Learn how to professionally sharpen kitchen knives or other blades using Japanese wetstones. During the workshop, you’ll receive clear explanations about the different types of stones, sharpening techniques, and sharpening angles. Our experts guide you step by step as you sharpen your first knife to perfection. Each participant can sharpen 1 to 2 knives, so you’ll see immediate results and take them home with you.
Investment: €50 incl. VAT per person
ASSEMBLE YOUR OWN MOUSTACHE KNIFE
2 hours – Max. 10 participants – Kampenhout
Step into the world of knife making and assemble your very own Moustache knife! The blade is already hardened and sharpened, and you’ll receive a Moustache handle to put together yourself. During this 2-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to assemble, finish, and even personalize the knife using our laser machine.
I noticed there was a big gap between premium, high-end knives like Mknives and the cheaper mass-produced alternatives. Not everyone can spend €1000 or more, but almost everyone wants a high-quality knife.
To offer a knife that meets the quality standards I guarantee with Mknives, I developed the Moustache line after extensive research. The design, handle, and all details are entirely handmade, while the blade itself is machine-produced and then hand-finished. This way, the price remains accessible without compromising on quality.
Investment: €250 incl. VAT per person
