You get to learn history of knives, sharpen your own, watch it cut paper, engrave your Japanese name or whatever you want, even a picture if you’re skilled, and then solder the design into a wooden handle, super awesome and fun!!

Solid Experience in learning hands on how to sharpen a knife and use an engraving tool on wood. Different types of blades available for alternative uses in food preparation. Great thing to do on a rainy afternoon. Coffee and treats included too.
