Handle Workshop: Shaping

Saturday, Feb. 23, 2019
2-5 p.m.
Course fee: $375

Students will work with Don Nguyen. Materials engineer and expert maker of chef knives.

Don will provide each student with a heat-treated and hardened knife blank with the scales attached, but unfinished. Students will spend the class discovering how Don shapes his beautiful knife handles and applying that expertise to the knives provided. Students leave the class with a knife that has a handle they worked on under Don’s tutelage, and a blade they can further grind, sharpen and polish to meet their own design requirements.

Full course details and important information about clothing, PPE and health & safety will be sent to students before the course.
