If you have ever wanted to try your hand at making your very own knife, you can, with a bit of help from Willie at Kiwi Blade Knives.
“There’s nothing better than creating a tool that you can use on an everyday basis – designed and thought through by you - to fit with your lifestyle,” he says.
“Knives are practical instruments which date back to our earliest origins. The thrill of making one incorporates all of that human history into the choices surrounding the style of blade that you choose to make. It’s an organic process as much as it is one governed by need and human history. There’s more to it than you might think and actually making one is a lot better than watching a YouTube how-to video!”
What you come away with at the end is a functional knife and a whole new appreciation of the craft. It’s a fun day which requires a bit of grit and determination – but it’s well worth the effort. A day spent knife making can take you away from the stresses of your everyday life too.
Imagine sailing off on your next holiday or tramping into the bush, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen with a knife that you can impress your family and friends with.
