• studio NIN - This immersive experience offers a comprehensive understanding of “forging.” Participants will learn to use the tools and craft a knife following the traditional Japanese kitchen knife-making process. It’s an unforgettable journey.

This experience includes:

1. Dressing in traditional attire
2. Learning to use the tools
3. Forging
4. Sharpening a knife
5. Polishing the knives

• Don a traditional goldsmith outfit for a truly authentic experience!
• Discover the art of knife-making using the traditional Japanese kitchen knife process
• “Forging” is the centerpiece of this experience, so no prior knife-making experience is necessary!

The knife size is approximately 13 to 15 centimeters.
(As each knife is handmade, size may vary by individual.)
Larger knives require more time and resources.
For instance, a standard cooking knife typically takes over 5 hours and costs more than $400.
At studio NIN, we aim to make forging accessible to as many people as possible, offering a two and a half hour session.
Additionally, there are no wooden handles.
This knife is crafted using a traditional and straightforward method, with an iron handle.
