About this product
Description
Spend a day in our beautiful Herefordshire forge learning the traditional skills of knife making. Whether you are a complete beginner or have previous experience, you will design and forge your own knife by hand, with guidance from our experienced team every step of the way.
From your initial design to shaping and heat-treating the steel, you will be involved in every stage of the process, creating a knife that's truly your own.
If you would like to take your knife further, we also offer optional handle-making and sheath-making workshops, giving you the chance to make your own wooden handle and create a sheath to complement your finished knife. You can also add personalised laser engraving to give your knife that extra personal touch.
