Colin Roe reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"I was given this experience as a gift and wasn’t sure what to expect - I haven’t done this sort of thing before. As soon as you arrive Dave (our instructor) was friendly and welcoming. His method of teaching is formative and delivered with clarity ensuring every step is understood to maintain safety while keeping the day fun. You are left to do as much of the knife making as possible and Dave has stills confidence I. You as you go while being patient and supporting where needed. I was amazed at how well my knife came out - I put my success down to Dave’s support during the day. I would recommend this experience to anyone and plan on going back to make another very soon. "

Steven Roe reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"I went into this course looking forward to it and learning from it. It was an exceptional day. Dave’s friendly approach complemented his expertise and was the right level of theory and instruction for a complete novice. He guided me through the process giving me confidence in every stage that at time could have been complicated. I came away with great memories and a fabulous hand crafted knife. A decent knife can cost a lot. So to have a day with an expert and come away with a quality knife is worth every penny. I would recommend to anyone."

Shaun reviewed: Kitchen Knife Course

"I attended this course with my son at the weekend. Couldn't have been happier. Dave was an excellent tutor - just the right amount of hands-on attention but only if/when required. It was also nice that the course is limited to two people so Dave has plenty of time to give you personal attention. We are both extremely pleased with the kitchen knives that we came away with. "

Hand forged Yorkshire responded:

"Thank you very much for your fantastic review Shaun, it is greatly appreciated. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you both and have you in the workshop, I'm so glad you enjoyed your day and you're happy with the knives you both made. Rightly so you both did an absolutely belting job, well done. Hope you enjoy using them for many years. "
