Workspace Christchurch is pleased to be hosting master knife maker and blacksmith Shea Stackhouse for some amazing workshops in 2019!
​
Knife making workshops:
These workshops are taught in either one or two days, 10am - 5pm each day.
Students will produce a chef's knife or paring knife from start to finish! You will be taught:
​
Forging:
Drawing out the steel and forging the profile of your knife

Grinding and sanding:
Using the angle grinder and belt sander to refine your knife profile, remove forge marks and clean back your blade

Heat treating the blade:
The knife will be hardened and tempered to give it the hardness, toughness and flexibility it needs to perform as a knife.

Handle making:
Students can select a handle material from our stocks or bring your own timber/handle material. You will measure the handle material to fit the tang then sand it down to your selected design.

Sharpening:
Finally you will learn how to sharpen the blade ready for use.
