Forge a Kitchen Knife
ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
Create a kitchen knife you'll treasure for a lifetime.
Our flagship blacksmithing experience gives you the rare opportunity to design and forge your very own high-carbon steel kitchen knife from scratch over two unforgettable days at the forge.
Working from a billet of high-carbon steel, you'll learn the complete process of bladesmithing as you transform it into a beautiful, fully functional chef's knife. Guided by our expert blacksmiths throughout the journey, you'll forge the blade by hand, shape and refine every detail, and finish it with a premium wooden handle chosen to suit your style.
Your knife will be forged with a hidden tang design and typically feature a 6–8" blade—creating a versatile kitchen knife that's not only a stunning handmade piece, but also a practical tool designed for years of use.
Across the two days, you'll learn:
- 🔥 Forge safety and working with a gas forge
- ⚒️ Forging the blade to shape using hammer and anvil
- ✨ Profiling, grinding and refining the blade
- 🔥 Heat treatment, including normalising, hardening and tempering
- 🪵 Selecting, fitting and shaping your handle
- 🗡️ Final finishing, sharpening and testing
No previous blacksmithing experience is required. Whether you're a passionate cook, a craft enthusiast, or simply looking for an experience unlike any other, we'll guide you through every stage of creating your own kitchen knife.
Depending on availability, there will be opportunities to upgrade your knife with premium options such as Damascus steel blades, alternative handle materials & colours.
At the end of this exclusive two-day experience, you'll leave with a fully finished, razor-sharp kitchen knife forged and crafted by you—an heirloom-quality piece that will be used, admired and treasured for years to come.
