Learning how to forge a knife

Welcome to the most most authentic blacksmith course in Germany! In the deepest part of the Allgäu you will set off with me in an almost spiritual way to your own unique exhibition. Choose your material for the handle and for the blade and create something new with me.

I give your blades the finishing touches

I make your knives really sharp. Depending on what it is intended for:
Kitchen knife/hatchet, outdoor knife, vegetable knife, meat knife, bread knife, cutlery knife, scissors, etc. Pathology knives and scissors. Garden tools. Razor. There are almost no limits.

I am a cutler and know what is important. I always make sure that the look or patina of the knives remains visible if this is desired.

Restoration and repair of blades and cutting edges

I repair Your knives, axes, hatchets, handles or handle scales or leather sheaths. I restore old, damaged or worn blades or leather scabbards and try to restore them to their original condition. In this way, we not only ensure that a tool can be reused without throwing it away, we also preserve its history.

      A knife is a tool that should always be used for the purpose for which it was made. This is the only way to guarantee that you will enjoy it. Not all steel is suitable for everything.
      A hunter should use a knife that is not quite as hard, but flexible.
      A cook, on the other hand, should use steel that is very hard and sharp. Only with the cleaver he should go for something flexible.

      Der beinahe vergessene Kindheitstraum eines selbst geschmiedeten Messers konnte hier erfüllt werden. Gemeinsam mit Alex wurde in entspannter aber produktiver Atmosphäre verschiedsten Materialien, alle für sich bereits faszinierender Natur, ein neues, friedliches Leben gegeben. Die einstige Hornisse wird uns ab jetzt in der Küche begleiten. Danke Elke und Alex für das unvergessliche Erlebnis und all die vermittelten Eindrücke!
