• 5/5 from Anna Tweedie, attended May 2026: Jamie was amazing! Had such a great time
• 5/5 from Michael Rudman, attended Apr 2026: Had a great day with Jamie our teacher. He made sure we did as much of teh work as feasible 95% so it really felt like we had made the knife, rather than just watching. As an educator of adults myself, his method was spot on.... explain, demonstrate, get us to do it and then coach when needed. It's a lot to get done in a day, but doable and for anyone wondering about physicality, it's fine for anyone who can swing a standard hammer. You don't need to be super strong. Recommend!!

• 5/5 from Brian Lee, attended Oct 2025: Very fun workshop that gives you a full proper taste of how much work goes in to hand making a knife. However, be warned, it's a fair bit of hard work and parts of it are quite dangerous if you're not concentrating.

Rather than being an embarrassment that gets thrown into the back of the kitchen drawer, it's on display with my Japanese forged knives, and it cuts beautifully. I highly recommend this course.

• 5/5 from Nick Lyle, attended Nov 2024: Having been involved in metalwork for a few years I thought it would be fun to try something different, and had always piqued my interest. Nordic Edge was the winner! Great teacher, full if information, experience and driving the group to achieve a great result at the end of the day. I got hot, I got frustrated at myself, I pushed through, I made a knife. Amazing how it all falls together! Loved the group. It was great to watch the group come together as the day progressed, showing encouragement, sharing the good and the bad (mistakes happen I am told!) Definite probability for a second shot!

• 5/5 from Dan Budai, attended Jun 2024: I recently attended a knife making class at Nordic Edge with my son, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Our teacher, Jamie, was not only highly skilled but also a lot of fun, making the learning process enjoyable and engaging. The venue was perfectly suited for the course, providing all the necessary facilities and a great atmosphere. We were provided with high-quality materials, which allowed us to create knives we are truly proud of. Throughout the class, we learned a lot, both new techniques and revisiting old skills that are transferable to other projects. The course offered excellent value for money, considering the hands-on experience and the knowledge we gained. Overall, I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in knife making or looking to learn a new craft. It’s a wonderful way to spend time together and come away with valuable skills and a sense of accomplishment.

• 5/5 from Morgan Campbell, attended Apr 2024: Tickets for the class were a birthday gift. Our instructor Joel was fun, energetic and very encouraging. He made learning new skills easy while keeping everything fun. We learnt all the basic skills and techniques required to make a knife. I feel confident that I could repeat the process if I had access to the equipment. In the end my wife and I ended up with quality kitchen knives that would cost hundreds of dollars to buy, yet we made them. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone and would do it again for sure The thing I liked most in the end was my knife
