Fun day making your own souvenirs.
Really fun experience, the couple have been making knives their whole life and they are so friendly- they don’t speak any English but the tour guide (Emory) who helps you through it all speaks English and is really lovely as well. Would recommend.

A must do activity
If I was back in Hanoi for a day this is what I would do! It was an amazing experience working with the masters and building my knife however I wanted. They were very hands on and helped make sure the knife actually turned out usable! Tom and the masters were incredibly kind and friendly, would absolutely recommend if anyone gets the chance!
