Chris reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"A wonderful day. Dave knows his stuff and shares his knowledge well. Every stage of the day flowed and I left with a beautiful knife. AND I also left with the skills and confidence required to re-handle a carving knife and fork - double win."

Christine & Paul reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"My husband and I gifted this glorious anniversary present of knife making to each other. Dave’s passion and enthusiasm came through in spades and made our day thoroughly enjoyable. The hands-on experience of every step was great fun. He explained everything, gave great demos and got us to a very beautiful finish. I absolutely admired his craftsmanship and Dave shared lots of handy hints and tips along the way. Great experience and highly recommend!! Definitely looking forward to using our new knives. Thank you Dave 😁"

"Great course well run. Good balance of demonstration, supervision and independent practice. I had no set expectations but had a really fun and informative day and left with a beautiful knife as well as a new found appreciation for skilled craftsmen like Dave. I would recommend this course to people interested in learning about the craftsmanship of hand made kitchen knives."

Clive Macdonald reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"What a great, enjoyable day with Dave at his workshop! Dave is a great tutor. His love of his artisan skill is infectious. Very clear instructions and guidance throughout the day. Dave is very good at giving you confidence to have a go but has great judgement when to provide some assistance/further guidance at key points. A great sense of achievement and well being at the end of the day when you walk out of the workshop with a beautiful, useful kitchen implement"
