    Blacksmith and Knife Maker

    Robin began his journey as a blacksmith at the age of 15. And he has been perfecting his craft ever since!

    Robin spent his adolescence in the woods and tall grass fields, perfecting his scouting skills. With a penchant for crafting the perfect knife, he would often withdraw from prying eyes to create his signature piece - a knife that surpasses all of his other masterpieces.

    Driven by his passion for the trade, Robin devoted 4 years to studying forging and ironwork. During his studies, he acquired expertise in various areas, including forging, cutlery, furniture, and art ironwork. Additionally, he interned with seasoned professionals, further sharpening his skills and gaining valuable experience.

    With his expertise, calm demeanor, and tireless work ethic, Robin now shares his knowledge and passion through workshops. Participants in his workshops get a chance to learn the intricacies of cutlery and create their own unique, personalized knife under Robin's expert guidance.

    Journée inoubliable avec Robin ! On part d’un dessin sur une feuille blanche pour arriver au couteau final, difficile d’y croire, et pourtant… Robin vous explique les gestes et vous accompagne à chaque étape. Il partage avec vous sa passion. Un bel échange. Perso, on ne verra plus jamais les couteaux de la même façon ! Merci Robin ! Alex et Fred

    Super journée et super expérience. Robin est très pédagogue avec nous et surtout nous laisse réaliser notre travail. Même s'il reste à notre disposition pour les points plus complexes. Travail en sécurité très apprécié. Il aime partager son savoir et sa passion; et ça se ressent. Je ne me passe plus de mon couteau.

    Superbe expérience. Robin est didactique, il prend le temps d'expliquer, il est disponible, il répond aux questions. Le couteau à réaliser n'est pas évident et pourtant cela semble simple quand Robin vous y conduit pas à pas. Grâce à son esprit vif et son envie de partager, il n'y a pas de temps mort et ça même quand les couteaux doivent chauffer ou refroidir ... il propose alors de forger une feuille !!! Je vous invite si la coutellerie vous intéresse d'aller suivre cet atelier d'une journée. Merci encore à toi Robin.
