The 2-day course

2 possibilities: creating your XXL survival knife with its leather sheath or manufacturing your Puukko (Nordic knife) with its leather sheath as well. Ladies who think they are not strong enough to withstand the shock and especially the anvil, think again.

Julien Maniglier explains it very well: “forging does not require strength but letting go and feeling”. So don't worry, the internships are accessible to everyone!
