This class was amazing, the instructor was thorough and patient, making sure we all completed the spoon by the end on the day. The equipment provided was excellent, with tools to take home. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and I hope to use the skills I learnt to do more carving in the future.

Grant Macdonald Feb 2024


Awesome afternoon with Mark and Nordic Edge hand carving my very own kitchen spoon. Well instructed, practical demonstrations and patience beyond belief no matter your skill level. Would highly recommend to anyone who likes working with their hands or is just curious as to how the process works. Thanks again team!

Paul Bailey Feb 2024

Had a fantastic experience and produced an awesome knife. Jamie and the crew at Nordic Edge were very calm, patient and personable. An absolutely blast of a day, and stoked to show off my knife in the kitchen!

Brooke Mengell Dec 2023


My partner and I were lucky enough to be taught by Jamie on a 40 degree day, we had a marvellous time learning the ins and outs of blacksmithing! Jamie is an incredibly dedicated teacher who helped us every step of the way and always had a witty joke ready to go. Safety is a number one priority for these guys, you’ve got every tool you could possibly need, this is one of the best experiences we’ve had. Can’t recommend highly enough. 11/10.

Daryl Midgley Nov 2023


I had a great day at Nordic Edge, Jamie was a great teacher and made sure everything ran smoothly as well as allowing some freestyle!

The knife is great and is very much in use.

I look forwarded to seeing you again.

Terry Haayema Nov 2023


Jamie was fantastic, he guided us safely through a wonderful experience that we greatly enjoyed

Raphael Jandey Oct 2023


Did the knife making class with Bjorn, and it was absolutely fantastic. Very good teacher, and the knives we made looked fantastic. Cannot recommend this class enough

John-Paul Syriatowicz Oct 2023


Terrific course! It was a fun and educational day with the knife as an heirloom keepsake. Bjorn was an excellent teacher for our intimate class of four. He gave each attendee plenty of attention and help if needed so we could all move at the same pace.

Nordic Edge provided good quality safety gear and various materials to make some sections faster or we wouldn't have finished in one day (e.g. knife handles). Drinks throughout the day and a very tasty lunch were included.

I really enjoyed the day and highly recommend it to others.

Lee Watson Oct 2023


Fantastic workshop with a great instructor. Jamie was very patient and supportive and the whole day was a blast. Good fun being outta yer comfort zone!

Fantastic experience. Everyone was amazing, from Bjorn, Tim, and especially Jamie the teacher of the day. He taught everyone everything they needed to know. From giving facts about knife making, to explaining the equipment and how the process works. A really down to earth guy with amazing technique and people skills to match.

Teacher's response

So glad you had fun on the workshop! And thank you for the lovely review.

Daniel Moss Sep 2023


Awesome experience and Jamie was a great teacher. Managed to finish the bottle opener with time to spare and with Jamie's help made a Viking arm ring for my daughter that fits!

Great instructors, very helpful with teaching techniques, and supporting us.

Thanks again

Daniel Herron Aug 2023


Enjoyed the spoon carving course over the weekend. Mick was our instructor, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate guy. Was great learning such a portable form of woodworking. Being given the tools to continue this is a definite incentive. Will definitely be getting more into this in the future. Loved the course, love my spoon. Thanks guys.

Paige Vink Aug 2023


Thank you Mick, what a wonderful experience creating our very first spoons! We were both absolute beginners and yet are so happy with our end products
thanks to Mick's wonderful guidance throughout the process. Lunch was also fantastic, all equipment was great and we're looking forward to our next project!

Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review! Glad you enjoyed the experience.

Nick Both Aug 2023


Relaxed atmosphere, very informative and always open to questions (of which we had many). Fun, no pressure environment to learn in. What more can you ask for!

Knife Making Workshop review by Nick Both - Sydney

Ella Crawford Jul 2023


I took my dad as a 60th birthday gift and we had great fun! Graeme was an excellent teacher and you could tell how much he cares about woodworking. My dad even bought more timber blanks and a hatchet so he can make more spoons, so it was clearly a winner in his books.

David Cliff Jul 2023


Jamie demonstrated complete mastery of blacksmithing and knife making and guided the 4 of us through all the steps of making a very professional looking knife, always maintaining a watchful eye on us and in great humour.

The workshop area was very rustic, in a way that a good workshop is. It looks well used with everything where it needed to be and in good working order.

This is a great experience that takes you away from the daily routine into an age old craft. While care is taken to minimise risks, this is no kids glove type activity with high heat (around the furnaces), heavy hammers, and powerful grinding tools all part of the day.

After completing a short but appropriate safety briefing, you are straight into it working through the day with only short lunch and water breaks. The process is complex with many steps as you move from initial forging and then grinding.

Highly

James Donlan Jun 2023


Great course. Good fun!
Would recommend to anyone interested in making knives.
Good sausage too

William Shepherd Jun 2023


Bjorn was an awesome teacher! He explained everything really well and was very friendly. The class had a good pace to it. Highly recommend his class to anyone. :)

Aiden Quinn-Cook Apr 2023


Awesome class with the guys at Nordic edge. This was the first time me or my son had attempted something like this and I could not have asked for better. The instructors were friendly and supportive working through each step patiently and Jamies experience was obvious.
If anyone is looking for a unique activity give this a crack you will be amazed what you can create.

Denis Perche Apr 2023


It was an excellent workshop, perfect with only 4 participants, each of the final products looked really good, all different as well.
This is a great introduction to woodwork and we all had a great time.
Mitch was a perfect teacher, checking on all of us and helping when help was needed.
Overall learned skills with the axe, the 2 knives as well as how to keep them sharp.
It was good not to have think about lunch as it is all provided.
A beer at the end of the workshop when the spoons were drying in the Sydney autumn’s sun was the perfect way to end the day.
Applying the wax at the very end to reveal the finished products is really special.
I am intending to make a few more at home for family and friends, using the tools provided in the kit.
It was a really enjoyable experience, great feeling of making something which I will use daily, highly recommended.

Matt Copping Dec 2022


I was given a Knife Making course for my birthday from my family, one of the best presents i've received for ages. Jamie and Tim were there to greet us with all the info for what the day held in store for us. Safety briefing, PPE and assurance we were going to go home with a knife that we had made. Jamie gave us step by step instructions and was always prepared for any questions i had throughout the day, it went quite quickly considering the processes we went through to forge our knives, obviously it's hot and physical work, but it's payed off for the finished product. Everything was supplied for the day, and i left with a knife that i had made myself. I really enjoyed the day, my family and friends were very impressed my knife, and yes "It Will Slice"

Rhys Llewellyn Dec 2022


The whole experience was top level.
A great facility and expert tuition.
I would suggest having some product on display to buy as I would have bought something if it was offered.

Great teacher interesting background info stories. Great step by step instructions and then is happy to let you be independent. Would have liked more time to complete little independent projects but on the other hand too exhausted to do so on same day! Do you have follow up continuers course? I mean another day of forging for those who have already done the intro?

The tools where awesome and they taught us how to use them safely which was good and provided us with cut proof gloves. The lunch was awesome as well. 10 out of 10 for this course.

I made it a surprise for my partners birthday. The class I booked had already been booked out by accident and the owner was so quick and lovely in messaging straight away to let me know and give me options on what I’d like to do, I changed the day and all was rearranged quickly for the new date. Can’t thank them enough for their professionalism in ensuring i was looked after and received all the emails on information about the class and getting there. My partner said it was amazing and Jamie the teacher was very fun and happy to answer all his questions. Thank you so much to the team at Nordic Edge.

Being someone who possesses no technical ability and have difficulty following even basic instruction :) I was astonished at the knife I made.

Cooking brings great enjoyment and today I realised that even I could make something amazing and have me go "I made that" while preparing my food.

The instructor was always on the spot to help out. Even when I was probably annoying in asking over and over. He was always happy to help or answer questions.

So I highly recommend this class. Its worth it.

It also will make you appreciate the effort made next time you see an expensive knife at the shop.

You realise in a very basic way the process and effort that goes into making it.

Shane Rossetto Jun 2021


The course was well organised from the start, all information provided to ensure we were prepared.
Mark was a great instructor providing good advice at just the right time. Also lending a helping hand anytime a student was having difficulties or doubt.
Facilities were more than adequate on a cold wet windy miserable day. We were outside but under cover and sheltered.
Every thing was provided, tools, spoon blanks, sandpaper, finishing oil, water, coffee and a great lunch.
A couple of people had problems with their curved knife, but this was very quickly rectified by Bjorn.
Highly enjoyable day learning new skills and meeting new people.

Daniel Sharp Jun 2021


A great day!
Easy to pickup techniques, a light hearted and informative day - and the best part?
You get to walk away with a knife you've made yourself - great for 'Stabby Stabby'

What a great way to spend a day. Jamie not only looked the part of a veteran bladesmith, he backed it up with a lot of knowledge and advice gratefully accepted by this novice.
The process was clearly laid out and our knife making progress was constantly checked along the way to producing a better than expected result on my first go. Now have a constant reminder of my day when cooking.

Anne McDade Mar 2021


Fantastic workshop! We learned so much (including niece Tash and good friend Jules). Terrific teacher in Rowland; makes it look achievable and very clear guidance which assists with the challenging parts of spoon making! Do yourself a favour, do this fun, hands on, well organised workshop. Stressed? Do this workshop because all you concentrate on is the task at hand. Seriously! A really great day. Thanks to Bjorn for great communication pre Workshop too. Thanks again fella's

Carolyn Fealy Mar 2021


Our teacher Rowland was fabulous, I just loved making my wooden spoon. I am hooked and I want to do more. I would highly recommend taking this course as you home with skills you never had and tools to practice with! The day went so quickly. Great fun for a group of friends or single individuals.
Thank you so much! I had a great time

Great fun. Teacher was helpful. Fabulous to be able to continue and make more spoons at home. Great to have the tool kit to do that, except the axe. Only thing is that it cost me more because I couldn’t find a willing friend to come with me, that’s sad. I’m glad I went anyway but should have cost the same. Maybe discount friends if they are going to share a toolkit? Just a suggestion. Loved it! Inspired.

Pam Dingwall Jan 2021


Very personable teacher in Jamie who looks the part toogood instruction and nice little touches like beer and sausage at the end
