Full-day knife-making workshop at Saint-Sulpice

Activity description :

In his workshop at Saint-Sulpice (53) in Mayenne, Antoine welcomes you to discover the art of knife-making. Ready to become an ace cutler in just 8 hours?

Course of the workshop (8h):

• Discover the different parts that make up a knife.
• Choice of two types of wood: olive, acacia, birch, pear, walnut and many others.
• Work with these woods to transform them into knife handles. You'll also insert a decorative piece on the handle: a mosaic rivet.
• Guillochage to work certain metal parts.
• No fewer than 40 steps are involved in creating your knife: drilling, cutting, milling and polishing.
• Antoine will give you invaluable advice throughout the course to ensure that the result is as clean and beautiful as possible.

This knife will be your knife, and you'll have a special emotional bond with it. Your meals will never taste the same!
