This village, renowned for its forging profession, has a long-standing history dating back several hundred years. Once a major source of weapons during the Vietnam wars, the village now crafts agricultural implements, continuing the tradition of forging.

In this hands-on class, you’ll experience the intricate process of knife making:

Design: Begin by sketching the shape of the blade on a sheet of metal, chosen specifically for its durability.

Forging: Using a hammer, cutter, and anvil, cut out the blade and tang (the part that extends into the handle) and thrust them into the crackling embers.

Shaping: Alternate blows with the maker to shape the blade. Any imperfections are then trimmed by a hydraulic cutting machine.

Sharpening: The blade is then sharpened on a grindstone. This process includes several phases, one of which involves soaking the blade in a special tar-based chemical wash, a secret family recipe.

Join us on this unique journey and learn the art of knife making from the masters themselves. Book your spot today and take home not just a knife, but a piece of Vietnamese history! ️
