Description

Step Into the Heat of the Forge – Make Your Own Japanese-Style Kiridashi Knife

By stepping into the heat of the forge, you become part of a unique workshop where we create something real together – your very own Japanese-style handcrafted kiridashi knife.

This is no ordinary masterclass – it’s a journey into the world of fire, metal, and determination. Forge a knife that has a soul and a story!

“Come and Make a Japanese Handcrafted Knife” is a full-day workshop where you will craft a forged-blade knife inspired by Japanese tradition, brought to life by the fire and hammer of an Estonian forge.

We use pre-made Damascus steel – a layered, durable material with a beautiful pattern, where each blade is truly one of a kind.

During the workshop you will:

• Forge and shape the blade following the Hephaistos Laboratory’s tradition
• Harden, grind, and sharpen your own knife
• Make a leather blade sheath
• Take home a truly personal and functional handcrafted knife

This workshop is perfect for:

• Real tool enthusiasts
• A gift for someone who values quality and craftsmanship
• Those eager to learn something deep and new

Duration: approx. 1 full day

Location: Forge “Põhjala Sepp”, Ankru 10, Tallinn

Group size: 1–2 participants (to ensure personal instruction)

No prior experience needed – full guidance from start to finish

The fire awaits. The work awaits. And a knife that is truly yours awaits.

Come and make a Japanese handcrafted knife.
