Custom Knife Handle Woodworking Workshop

Want a custom knife that feels made for you? In this hands-on woodworking workshop in Brooklyn, you’ll turn a block of wood and a knife blank into a finished, custom-fit knife for the kitchen or the campsite. You’ll start by tracing your blank onto a block of dense hardwood, then cut it on the band saw into two matching halves. From there, you’ll drill holes for the rivets, line them up with the steel, and book-match the grain so the pattern flows across both sides.Next, you’ll mix two-part epoxy, coat the tang, press the wooden scales into place, and drive in the pins. While the epoxy cures, your instructor will walk you through each step with plenty of guidance to support you.Once it’s set, you’ll shape the handle with a rasp and work through finer grits of sandpaper until the wood and steel blend into one smooth piece. A final coat of Odie’s oil brings out the grain and gives the handle a rich finish.This workshop is perfect for anyone seeking a beginner woodworking class, gifts for campers, gifts for home cooks, or creative things to do in NYC. You’ll leave with a well-balanced, handcrafted knife you made yourself and the skills to make another!Important Information
