Forge Your Own Kitchen Knife – Blacksmithing Workshop in Leeds

Ever wanted to forge your own kitchen knife? Join master bladesmith Jacek Robótka of Jorgen Craft for a one-day, hands-on blacksmithing course in Leeds. This beginner-friendly workshop will take you from raw carbon steel to a fully finished, razor-sharp kitchen knife, inspired by historical Viking-era designs — blending tradition with modern usability.

• Blade Forging: Shape the steel and forge the tang and bevel, turning raw metal into a functional kitchen knife.

• Blade Finishing: Grind, attach a handle, sharpen, and strop your knife to a professional edge.
• Hands-On Blacksmithing: Learn forge safety, hammering techniques, and how to control fire like a pro.

By the end of the day, you’ll take home a handcrafted kitchen knife — a unique addition to your kitchen or a one-of-a-kind gift.
