Hanoi Knife-Making Class:Join the Legacy in Blacksmith's Workshop

Famous for its centuries-old forging tradition, Da Sy was once known for supplying weaponry during Vietnam’s historical wars.
In this interactive workshop, you’ll immerse yourself in the knife-making process, step by step:
- Design: Begin by sketching your blade on a carefully selected piece of durable metal, chosen for its strength and quality.
- Forging: Cut out the blade and tang (the part that fits into the handle) using traditional tools like hammers, cutters, and an anvil. Heat them in the fiery forge to prepare for shaping.
- Shaping: Work side-by-side with artisans, taking turns hammering the metal into the desired shape. A hydraulic machine will help refine any rough edges for a smooth finish.
- Sharpening: Finally, sharpen the blade on a grindstone. This process includes several steps, one involving a unique tar-based wash—an age-old family secret passed down through generations!

Throughout the experience, our skilled artisan will guide you, ensuring every detail of your work reflects your personal touch. You’ll bring home not just a beautifully crafted knife but also a part of yourself in its creation—a piece you can use to create delicious meals and lasting memories.
