What is involved in the course?
At first, we will sit down with a nice hot brew and give you a brief of how the day will run. you will then get to choose which Kitchen knife design feels right for you. Once the blank is chosen, its then time to create some sparks on the belt grinder, then its a quick polish of the blade and time for the handle to be clamped on. 
 
Once the handle is secured, its time to shape the handle to fit your unique grip. we will then finish this with beeswax that has been harvested from the beehives across the road from our workshop. (don't worry we wont ask you to harvest it yourself)
 
While your handle drys, we will fire up the forge to around 1000c and create some big balls of fire using our demonstration knives, so you can learn why the heat treatment process is so important.
 
After all of that we will proceed with  a one to one sharpening tuition, so you can learn to keep your knife as sharp as stephen frys witt.
 
If you're a foodie/chef/passionate home cook or just love making things, then this will most definetly float your hyperthetical boat.
