Reviews for White Tiger Knives

This was an absolutely fantastic day for me.
I never got to do much of the tough handcrafted sort of things at school and generally am rather a techy person with a techy job.
I try to experience new things and was gifted this experience by my girlfriend and her famiy.
Steve was great at taking you through the stages, guiding you and explaining as you went from a fresh cut piece of steel to something that looks great, cuts great and you can be proud to know you made it!
Lots of knowledge, very welcoming, I could recommend this to anyone and i'm also thinking of booking the chef knife course with my girlfriend as I think she would love it too.

Attended the 2 day chef's knife course, received as a gift, and had a thoroughly enjoyable time, would highly recommend. I have since been proudly sharing pictures with friends and family of my knife (emphasis on MY - there will be no knife exactly like mine and I hope to use it for years to come).

I started the course with a good idea about what I wanted to achieve - a chef's knife with a patterned/black forged finish and am so, so pleased with how it turned out. I wasn't sure what wood would be available for the handle, but was surprised by the huge choice. I opted for a beautiful piece of Cocobolo (central American hardwood), shaped and sanded until it was just right.

Steve is highly skilled, knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about knife making, guiding us through the hands-on process over the 2 days. Thanks again Steve!

Cheers,
Ben

This was my second course with Steve, and he was right in what he said replying to a previous review... it's addictive.

This time, Steve introduced me to a different method of blade-smithing and we designed and made a fabulous tanto style knife, including a hamon, which Steve hadn't tried before on a 1 day course.

Although trying to get it all fitted into one day was extremely tight as this wasn't a typical one day project, Steve didn't let any of the pressure show and took the time to explain the techniques we were using and with his guidance, we ended up with a scarily sharp, beautiful unique design, with a gorgeous willow and cord wrapped handle that suited the style perfectly.

By the end of the day, Steve and I were already plotting the next project for my next visit !

2 day chef's knife course.
Was given the option of three shapes : Chef's knife, Santoku (my choice) or Nakiri.
Started from pre-cut blanks which made the actual forging quicker than expected (hour or so).
Although Stephen did a few parts (quenching, handle fitting, final sharpening) all the creative choices were mine. Those included choosing shape, patterning, polished or not, wood for handle and shape of handle. I get he did the mentioned parts to give me the best result, although I would have liked to do the quench.
1st Day - forging knife shape, grinding, quenching
2nd Day - making the handle, sharpening

Well enjoyed 2 days, very proud of my knife.
(Also given a nice carrying pouch to take it home)

Me and my husband went and did the 1 day course and made our own hunting knives. Steve was a great teacher, made us feel very comfortable and always made time to explain each step and share his knowledge with us. We had an excellent day and were really happy with the overall experience and the knives we brought home (which were razor sharp). I would highly recommend this course to anyone and loved the fact there were only the two of us which made it much more personal and meant we both got the attention we needed through each step. Thank you for a wonderful day Steve and thanks for being patient and encouraging the whole way through.

I recently did a one day course with Steve who demonstrated his love, incredible knowledge, craftsmanship, patience and teaching skill on all aspects of knife making.

Steve's a great guy with an easy going personality and an inspiring nature.

The whole day was brilliant with Steve providing support and advice throughout enabling me to take home the "sharpest knife ever seen in my household".

Steve's love for his craft is infectious and has left me itching to see what could be achieved with more of his inspiring tuition - maybe a 2 day course once the world recovers from covid 19.

Great day, great bloke - a 5* experience.
