Things to Do - Knife Making with Gardner Knives
Gardner Knives - Seppeltsfield, Barossa Valley
Barossa - More than Wine, Food and Wonderful People
Many people come to the Barossa for Wine & Food, but the Barossa has so much more to entertain and provide some amazing experiences. One such place is Gardner Knives at Seppeltsfield. Baz offers a range of options from 1 to 2 day courses where you are full engaged in making your own knife of your choice.
This past week I was fortunate to share the experience with two great friends, and we loved it. I chose to make a general kitchen knife and my friends both made their own carving knives.
Starting with recycled saw blades and a grinder we shaped and lightened the steel. We then attached a littler ‘chunk’ of wood (future handle), before we carved that into shape. Then some polishing and sharpening and we each had a knife. 6 hours of hard work. We loved every minute.
They are busy and only host small groups, but is an experience I will never forget. So book ahead, you will not be disappointed.
