ladies only ... culinary knife-making workshop:)
What
This is an hands-on event and reserved for Ladies:) We'll be first discussing the fascinating logic behind Japaneses culinary knife profiles. Participants will then create their own knife profile, shape, grind bevels, heat treat, assemble using the hidden tang method.
We'll be using various hand tools, some specialized knife making equipment, and high-quality, high carbon steel with traditionally shaped and constructed wood grips.
This workshop is designed for beginners ... no prior experience necessary:)
