Experience a fun couples' workshop, where participants craft their own French Chef, vegetable slicer, cleaver, or utility/hunting knife using the reductive technique. Guided by skilled instructors, couples shape raw steel into personalized kitchen blades.

Next, couples will add unique brass-pinned hardwood handles, polish their blades to desired finishes, and sharpen them to perfection using custom jigs—all while enjoying pizza and wine. This enchanting experience combines craftsmanship with culinary delights, creating lasting memories in a cozy and romantic setting.
