Welcome to the home of Wanaka Knife Making. Where we run a personalized workshop of only 2 people which allows us to focus on you. (With maximum of 3 by special arrangement).
Make your own quality knife, from high carbon tool steel.
You will TEMPER and HARDEN this knife, so it can be sharpened and maintain a working edge.
The knife will be finished with brass bolters and a beautiful wooden handle, shaped by you to fit your hand.
You will start with a steel blank, mark out, drill, cut, shape the blade before heat treatment and tempering.
Then prepare the handle and brass bolster before assembly, sanding and sharpening of the knife.
Bookings are essential due to small groups at any one time. This is to allow for assistance during the day.
