Nicolas, cutlery craftsman, opens the doors of his workshop and offers you an initiation to cutlery. In addition to discovering this art, you will have the opportunity to forge your own knife, accompanied by a seasoned professional!
You will first get to know each other over a cup of coffee in order to define, with you, your project of the day. Then, after a few explanations, you will be able to start forging your knife during the morning. Of course, Nicolas will be there to help you, especially for some technical gestures.
Lunch together will be the occasion for a nice exchange about cutlery, during which you can ask all your questions!
During the afternoon, Nicolas will explain the heat treatment of your blade, then you will make a leather sheath to store your knife. Like a real knife maker for a day, you will assemble, polish and sharpen your knife.
At the end of the workshop, you will leave not only with your knife and sheath in your pocket, but also with new skills and good memories of this day!
