About this activity
Itinerary

Become a knife-maker for a day. Learn to make a knife under my guidance and supervision, and receive instructions on finishing your very own knife and leather sheath, using natural materials that I have been collecting from Icelandic nature through the years – the same as were used by the Vikings.

I will explain the knife-making process to you and teach you the same techniques I have been using and mastering for decades, including designing, sanding, polishing, shaping handles, and, last but not least, making a sheath.
