Barrytown Knife Making, Barrytown SH 6, West Coast.

An amazingly different West Coast experience.
Forge your own blade from red hot steel, and complete your knife with a native timber handle, brass bolsters and pins.

Spend a day enjoying a genuine West Coast experience at the foot of the majestic Paparoa Ranges, overlooking the Tasman Sea. Only 20 minutes from Greymouth (the major town on the coast), and 15 minutes from Punakaiki, Barrytown is home to an eclectic mix of artists and craftspeople.

This is a fun filled activity which takes all day. There are breaks throughout and plenty of time to chat and make friends with the other knife makers around you. With time to relax and have a drink at the end of the day too.
