In this workshop, you’ll step into the world of traditional knife making and create your own unique folding knife from raw steel to finished tool — learning the balance of precision, patience, and fire along the way.
Under expert guidance, you’ll forge and grind the blade, shaping it to your desired profile before hardening and tempering to bring strength and resilience to the steel. Next, the bolsters and spacers are carefully prepared, fitted, and refined. Finally, each individual part is assembled and riveted together, resulting in a fully functional folding knife that reflects both skill and intention — a piece you can carry, use, and be proud of for years to come.
Material costs: 20€ to be paid directly to Sven at the Festival
Skill Level/Prerequisite’s: Open to All Levels!
Minimum age: 14 year’s old
Workshops start after our morning circle around 9:30 am and end around 5 or 6 pm.
Sven's courses are in German with a little bit of English.
If language is a barrier we are confident you will learn even if you don’t speak or understand German. So much of the learning depends on seeing, feeling, and hearing the sounds as well.
IMPORTANT- Festival Tickets are booked separately and in addition to workshops. Please be sure you have booked your ticket before booking workshops!
