- 2 Warrimoo Dr - We’re excited to offer a single-day knife crafting workshop. Beginners welcome!\n\nA friend of mine often shares a story about his father’s handmade chef knife, crafted over three decades ago, which is still in use today! Join us to create your own bespoke knife, forge lasting memories, and craft a legacy piece that your offspring might boast about 30 years from now.\n\nIs our two-day workshop too lengthy for you? Is traveling for a couple of days not feasible, yet you’re eager to craft your own custom knife? Our one-day workshop is the perfect solution.\n\nDuring this workshop, you’ll have a selection of pre-heat treated stainless steel knife blanks to choose from. Should you desire a particular style, please communicate with us in advance so we can prepare it for your session. A variety of pre-crafted Savage resin hybrid handles will also be available for selection.\n\nWe’ll guide you through the entire knife-making process, and I’ll provide in-depth explanations on the heat treatment of stainless steel and the creation of our unique hybrid resin scales.\n\nPlus, you get to take home the knife you create, with a value of $500!
