A challenge of steel: Make your own chef´s knife! My chef´s knife course is intended for beginners, those interested in demanding craftsmanship who are not afraid to challenge their skills and creativity. This is a weekend course during which you design and make your own knife. On this course you will learn the basics of forging and make your very own practical kitchen knife with a wooden handle- a knife that will last from generation to generation.
The course is suitable for both beginners and more experienced hobbyists. I only take six students at a time because I want to guarantee individual teaching and provide participants with happy experiences of learning and achieving.
Timetable
The chef´s knife making course in an intensive course at our Hanhiniitty workshop in Niinisaari, Puumala. The course will start on Friday at 6 pm, and the following days timetable will then be agreed together. On Sunday we will finish about 3 pm. The course will be about 16 hours altogether.
What else?
The Gallery of the workshop will act as resting place, with the possibility to make tea and coffee. All course participants will have to bring their own working clothes and it would also be good to have your own earmuffs.
