Bay of Plenty Garden and Art Festival

Bloom in the Bay

Swage – Knife Making Demonstrations

Skills Workshop and General Engineering is the place to go if you have a desire to craft a handcrafted custom knife. We offer a fantastic opportunity to create a unique piece of functional art. Whether you are a hobbyist, a knife enthusiast, or simply curious about the craft, our immersive knife-making classes will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the skills and craftsmanship involved in creating a quality knife.

At Bloom in the Bay, we will showcase different types of knives and the processes involved in knife making. Our demonstration will include examples of all the steps covered in our comprehensive one-day knife-making classes. From design and shaping to grinding and sharpening, you will see it all.
