The experience is amazing, thank you very much for the teaching and the patience, thank you Jessie!
Quick class on learning how to sharpen a knife at hope but well worth it. Got my knife engraved and took it home with me. Very fun.
Great workshop experience. A fun way to get your hands on a newly sharpened knife.

Excellent value and a ton of fun! We had a blast making knives with my kids and now have an amazing souvenir to bring home. We love this company- it’s our second time booking after making chopsticks here. They are great and their instructors were good with my kids.
