WORKSHOP LEVEL 1

MAKE YOUR OWN KNIFE

During this workshop you will make a knife based on an existing template. The blade and handle have a predetermined shape.

After the extensive technical explanation of the techniques and machines, we will grind the cut steel and finish the rough handle by removing the burrs, sanding and oiling the surface. This way the edges are finished softly and we perfect the ergonomics of the handle. After the workshop you will go home with your own assembled knife!

This workshop is ideal for people who have little to no experience with manual work.
