Workshops
2 Day Chef Knife Workshop
Spend 2 days with me in my shop and make your own hidden tang chef knife from scratch. I will take you through each step of the process, from choosing a design to heat treating and grinding the blade, and finally attaching and shaping the handle. Students will leave with a beautiful, high performance knife they made with their own hands.
no experience necessary - this is an introductory course and the goal is to have fun and take home something you’re proud of. We’ll be making Japanese style hidden tang stock removal knives (so no forging). That said, more advanced students will be able to take on more challenging builds and we can discuss ways to modify the workshop to suit your level.
class size is limited to 2 students per workshop which means more one on one time with the instructor (to arrange for a larger group please inquire)
safety equipment will be provided but please wear closed toe shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty
we’ll work from 9 until 5 both days with a 30 min break for lunch
accommodations are not included but we can provide you with a list of options in the area
$600 USD (includes materials)
