Description
We’ll provide you with a bar of high-carbon tool steel and then teach you how to cut, grind, shape, and polish it, all at room temperature, into a custom knife that rivals most cutlery you’ll find in stores.
You can choose from several classic knife designs – a French chef, a vegetable slicer, a mini cleaver, or an all-purpose “3 virtue” Santoku. If you prefer to leave the cooking to restaurant professionals, you can make a sexy Bowie Knife for your next hunting expedition.
And the best part? You can customize your knife’s design, including sizing the handle so it fits perfectly in your hand. If a dinner guest isn’t impressed by you preparing the meal with a knife you made with your own hands, that person doesn’t deserve to break bread with you.
