This knife-making workshop in Tokyo is a hands-on experience focused on traditional Japanese craftsmanship. In about 90 minutes, you create your own knife while learning the basics of blade sharpening, assembly, and personalization.
The experience starts with a short introduction to the history of Japanese knives and their connection to sword-making techniques. You then choose the type and size of blade you want to work on, with several options available depending on your preference.
You begin by sharpening the blade using traditional methods. This step requires focus and precision, and instructors guide you throughout the process to ensure correct technique.
Next, you assemble the knife by attaching the handle. You can then personalize it by engraving your name in Japanese or adding simple designs such as sakura patterns.
The workshop is beginner-friendly and includes all materials. At the end, you leave with your finished knife, packaged and ready to take home as a practical and meaningful souvenir from Tokyo
