WORKSHOPS
Come discover our trade through its physical
practice, here in our workshop. You'll leave
with a knife that you'll have created with your
own hands. A knife with the same level of
quality as those that we sell.
You'll be assisted by Gael, experienced in
instructing both beginner and expert audiences.
He'll transmit to you the passion of the
knifemaker's craft. Our machines are new and
well-protected and you'll also be given with any
necessary personal protection equipment.
For reasons of feasability, certain steps will have
already been completed (because they're neither
useful nor fun) but you'll be creating the heart of
your very own knife.
Listen, then assimilate. Observe, then assimilate.
Reproduce, then assimilate. Try, fail, start over
and succeed. Create, fail and start over.
That's a quick summary of
artisanal craftsmanship.
Deep in our DNA at Antretoise there's the
transmission of an essential aspect of
artisanry; technique cannot always be
explained with words or theory.
This knowledge is a a kind of physical
sensation, first transmitted then integrated.
Our beautiful and painstaking craft is no
exception to this rule. .

gestures and explain how to correctly
maintain
your
knives.

Fabrication of a Folding Knife
with Liner Lock
During this workshop the accent will be
on adjusting the mechanism and
understanding the basic fabrication of a
folding pocket knife (different from the
construction of a fixed-blade knife).
Participants will cut out and drill the
scales (the two plates which form the
handle), then polish the blade. The knife
will then be assembled and the spring
bar of the linerlock (blade-locking
mechanism) will be adjusted. The knife
with then be reassembled to shape the
handle and for final polishing.
After the knife is in finished form you'll
learn to sharpen it correctly.
