From Steel to Edge: A Hands-On Knife Making Series
Learn to make your own knife in this weekend workshop with MakeHaven facilitator Darryl.
The plan is to make a Japanese style Chefs knife, which is a very wide array of shapes, but to be more specific, we will make a ~6-8" Chefs knife in one of three styles. (Gyuto, Santoku, Kiritsuke). All materials included.
Must Bring
- Closed toe shoes (they will get sparks and metal flakes on it)
- Long Pants (Not synthetics, they will melt, Jeans or working pants are great, just nothing tight fitting against the legs. )
- Shirt (again no synthetics, you will want something breathable though. It gets warm working the knives)
Should/could bring
- Your own Safety Glasses, if you have them.
- A block of wood for a handle. (If you have something specific or meaningful for you, bring it.)
- Lunch (I plan for a working/on the fly lunch so if you leave for food the class will still have some topics and discussion points going on.)
- Something to transport your sharp knife in.
- A few knives from your house. (chefs knives, paring knives, bread knives, any type)
