"I recently had the pleasure of attending a one day knife making class at SWAGE in Katikati and it was an incredible experience! The class was taught by Ray, a skilled and knowledgeable instructor who walked us through every step of the knife making process with clear instructions and good humour. From designing and shaping the blade to heat treating and finishing, we learned it all.
The day was well structured with regular breaks where we were catered for by Di with a selection of delicious food and hot and cold drinks.
What I appreciated most about the class were the small numbers and hands-on approach. We got to use real tools and materials to craft our own unique knives. It was truly a thrill to see our designs come to life and hold the finished product in our hands.
Overall, I highly recommend this one-day knife making class to anyone who is interested in learning a new skill and creating something beautiful with their own hands. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced maker, this class is sure to be a rewarding and unforgettable experience."
