Knife Making
Our Pro Knife Making day is one of our most popular experiences here at Royal Oak Forge. Covering a full day, students will be able to design and make their own knife from start to finish. Beginning with forging, moving onto heat treating and polishing the blade to finally making and fitting the handle, is what you can expect with this experience day. Ultimately, you will be carefully being guided and tutored by an experienced Smith who will help you see your own design come to life.
​
Unlike our taster experiences this course is focused around not only having a unique and exciting experience but also specification of the end product. To ensure that this process is as streamlined as possible, we ask that forgers develop some idea of exactly what they would like to make with us prior to their visit. This will allow us to ensure the right materials, time and preparations are made in order to efficiently create your design. The type of knives that are usually created during this experience day range from chef or kitchen knives, scroll knives, cleavers, bush craft knives, re-enactment knives, and crafting knives, but anything not listed here is also possible! If you're thinking outside of the box don't hesitate to get in contact, as we encourage everyone to come up with their own projects and ideas.
