Voucher - Kitchen Knife Course

Forge your very own kitchen knife over the course of two days!

In this course you will design a kitchen knife, pick your metal, your handle and then spend the next two days brining it to life.

Damascus and stabilised wood handles available for a upgrade cost

Day 1

10am:

The day starts with you picking your blade and handle materials and then deciding what sort of knife you want to make.

Then there is a detailed safety demo to ensure we are all safe in the forge.

10:30:

The forging starts with a demo on how to hold a hammer and use it. Then we start forging the blade to your design.

1pm:

Once the blade is forged it is then time for lunch.

2pm:

Once back from lunch you will do the profile for the blade on the belt grinders.

3pm:

Lastly its time to heat treat the blade in the forge to make sure it is to an acceptable hardness.

Day 2:

10am:

You arrive and find your blade and then we will set you up on the grinder ready to grind the bevels on the blade. I will then give you a detailed demo on this and allow you enough time to grind the bevel as far back as you want.

11:30:

Once the bevelling is done it is time to hand sand the blade making sure all scratches are gone. Once that is done we will then etch any damascus blades.

12:30:

Now its time to glue up the blades to the handles then go to lunch.

2pm:

Back from lunch you will then grind the handles to shape making sure they fit your hands.

3pm:

After the grinding is done on the handle you will then hand sand the handle to make sure it is incredibly smooth.

4pm:

The day is done after we sharpen the blades and take some good pictures!
