Welcome to the forge

Make your own knife at the Koskikylä forge

Johku Paja is a blacksmith's workshop in Koskikylä by the Johku River. In the knife-making workshop you make your own knife with a curly birch handle under the smith's guidance and take it home with you. Workshops are booked through Johku Resort.

Your own knife from start to finish

Choose a piece of curly birch, shape the handle to fit your hand and fit the blade. The smith finishes the blade with you.

There is room for at most eight makers, so everyone gets help. No previous experience needed.
