Knife making


Build your OUTDOORWERK knife and sheath in one day including grinding theory and grinding set!

So that this project is possible in one day, parts of the knife such as the blade and the handle scales have already been prefabricated, machined, ground and hardened. You will assemble the knife, grind it all around, polish and oil it, fine grind it, hone it (hand grinding technique is part of the course) and then build the complete leather sheath, from punching the leather to edge polishing.

After completing the knife, we will build our own grinding block and set and practice the grinding technique.

Includes materials.

Please bring your own lunch.
