Our bridal party got together to do a one-day course and had an absolute blast with Willie and Angela. The day was truly fantastic and Angela's food is worth the visit on its own! Willie is passionate about his craft and it was contagious to be around. Very experienced knife maker, dedicated teacher and everyone left with a giant smile ear to ear with their creation in hand. High quality results, you will leave with a heart full of a joy and a very full stomach. Would give this more stars if I could!

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Willie is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his craft and it was amazing to learn so much in the knife making course. To have the chance to draw, cut, shape and create a one of a kind knife was phenomenal. Willies constant support, precision and banter was second to none. Where to start on the food!! Angela had everything and more prepared beautifully and was fantastic in assisting in the finer details of the knife making. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, you will not regret!
Willie & Angela hosted us at the Forgotten Arts premises in Clevedon. I didn't have a lot of expectations going into this all day workshop, but what I got out of it was an appreciation for the art of knife making. Willie & Angela have a ton of knowledge around this old school art and it showed in the way Willie taught and guided our group through the steps of creating a piece we can be proud of. The day is fully catered with delicious soups, bottomless coffee a tasty winter goulash and home made cookies & snacks. Safety gear is supplied just wear appropriate well covered footwear. From the design process to shaping to tempering (heat treating) then re-shaping, polishing and sharpening is a journey that you learn to respect this ancient process. Such a pleasure to be apart of also helped sharing it with a few good mates.
Completed a 1 day knife course as a gift, Exceeded my expectations in every way, super knowledgeable, friendly and great teacher. Awesome workshop with all the tools, no waiting. Quality Homemade food kept us full, Came away with a knife designed by me, I'll have forever. Husband and wife team with lots of passion, Highly recommend 10 Chris
What an experience making knifes with Willie! He’s very knowledgeable and passionate and I’ve learned a lot from him! Angela and Willie’s cooking was also amazing and the entire experience was amazing. Highly recommended.
This was the most amazing day and an experience I will never forget. Willie is an expert in Knives, the making or these and an amazing teacher, with Ang also making sure the day went without a hitch, and keeping us all well feed. I could not recommend this highly enough and absolutely everyone should have a go at it - I will be coming back. Thanks again
Kiwi Blade Knives knife making workshop was a blast. Willie was very knowledgeable and super helpful throughout the day. Not only did we get to make a knife from our own design to the final product, but we learned a lot on the way. Angela made an amazing lunch and snacks to fuel us on our busy day. Both Willie and Angela were great hosts and made us feel very comfortable. I am very happy with my knife and would love to come back and have another go. Highly recommended this workshop.
I designed and purchased a knife from Kiwi Blade Knives for my fiancé's birthday. Willie's work was stunning, and was very much the talk of the town. I had friends love it so much they have gone and bought their own high quality knives! Can't recommend Angela and Willie enough. I will definitely be back, likely with some of my girls wanting to do the knife making course.
