I have made my own knife and I am proud of it! Whether you are a beginner, an amateur or a real passionate about forging and cutlery, the master cutlery maker Nicolas DARTUS offers the “Fire and Forge” (« Feu et Forge ») workshop so you can take your first steps as a blacksmith!
This is a true opportunity to create great memories, but moreover to have the satisfaction of having made you own tool.
Meet him at his shop located in Saint Jean de Bonneval, in the Aube department, 19 kilometres south of Troyes, for one to a few days, in order to learn forging and cutlery.
This initiation is opened to all men and women so everybody can learn the basics of forging. You will learn how to hammer the steel to create a blade, work the wood to shape the handle of your tool but also practice sewing the leather to make the sheath.
These great efforts will be rewarded by the creation of YOUR own knife that will leave the workshop with you at the end of the day.
