Teddy reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"Brilliant day - massively rewarding! Dave is a brilliant teacher - supportive, encouraging, patient and perfectly clear in his instructions and advice. He clearly has a lot of knowledge and experience in bladesmithing, and was able to share this with us during the day - the balance of hands on and hands off teaching was spot on, enabling us to leave with a stunning knife that I feel I created, and a true sense of achievement! Dave has clearly put a lot of effort and consideration in to designing the course, resulting in a really enjoyable and rewarding day, thanks Dave!"

Colin Roe reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"I was given this experience as a gift and wasn’t sure what to expect - I haven’t done this sort of thing before. As soon as you arrive Dave (our instructor) was friendly and welcoming. His method of teaching is formative and delivered with clarity ensuring every step is understood to maintain safety while keeping the day fun. You are left to do as much of the knife making as possible and Dave has stills confidence I. You as you go while being patient and supporting where needed. I was amazed at how well my knife came out - I put my success down to Dave’s support during the day. I would recommend this experience to anyone and plan on going back to make another very soon. "

Steven Roe reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"I went into this course looking forward to it and learning from it. It was an exceptional day. Dave’s friendly approach complemented his expertise and was the right level of theory and instruction for a complete novice. He guided me through the process giving me confidence in every stage that at time could have been complicated. I came away with great memories and a fabulous hand crafted knife. A decent knife can cost a lot. So to have a day with an expert and come away with a quality knife is worth every penny. I would recommend to anyone."
