25.01.2022 Clint and Rob did our 2-day Damascus workshop and it sure looks like they enjoyed themselves! Great work on your knives fellas! A fun couple of days by the look of things...

25.01.2022 If you're in the Barossa today or over the weekend, we have students doing our Carbon steel workshop and you'd be more than welcome to call in and see what's going on from the viewing area in our Studio - this area is open from 11am onwards... Recent students Steve and Dane (who it turns out knew each other from years ago so they were able to have a nice catch up!) spent two days here doing the 2-day Damascus knife making workshop along with eating oysters!! Steve owns Gazander Oysters and kindly brought some with him... another reason to visit the Barossa because Gazander Oysters are at the Barossa Farmers Market on Saturday mornings - visit the Farmers Market Facebook page to see when they'll next be here... now back to the knife forging photos!

24.01.2022 Another father/son outing, this time doing our Carbon steel workshop, again with really great end results! Hammer-textured Nakiri's...

24.01.2022 A glorious day to be out at Seppeltsfield today... all that sun... Recent students, Heather and Callum created some beautiful knives for themselves in our Carbon steel workshop, one was a herb cutter and the other a kitchen knife with a hammer textured finish... they both seem happy with the end result! Great work!

23.01.2022 Stojan and Ike spent two days together in our 2-day Damascus knife making workshop and the photos show some of the processes that our students are involved in that lead to the creation of their beautiful knives...

23.01.2022 A couple of recently completed knife commissions... on their way to very happy customers!!

23.01.2022 Damascus was the flavour of the weekend just gone, with Jarrod doing our 2-day workshop and Michael doing our 1-day workshop... the random patterns look great on their two very different knives don't you think?

22.01.2022 Father and son due Phill and Ash spent a great day doing our 1-day Damascus knife making workshop; such a great experience to share with a loved one, as you can see by the smile on their faces at the end of their day!

21.01.2022 David came in to do our 1-day Damascus workshop and enjoyed making this little beauty!

21.01.2022 As I look out my Office window at the rain coming down over the hills, it's the perfect day to spend indoors creating a beautiful knife for yourself, which is what Ross and Ian did recently - Ross did our 1-day Damascus workshop and Ian did our Carbon steel workshop. Great knives achieved... all in a day's work!!

21.01.2022 Russell and Brad completed our 1-day Damascus knife making workshop - check out what they made for themselves! Nice work...

21.01.2022 And to round out the Mosaic Damascus knives is this absolute stunner...

21.01.2022 For those of you spending time in the Barossa over the Easter long weekend, it's looking such beautiful weather for it! The Gardner Knives Studio will be closed over the Easter break but open on Monday the 5th of April... Enjoy getting out and about!!

21.01.2022 We thought we'd get a new grinder for our students to use when they come in to do their workshops... what do you think????

20.01.2022 Yet another workshop graduate with his masterpiece... well done on a really beautiful knife Callum!

17.01.2022 Putting it out there in case anyone can help... any chance someone might have some Deer horn we can purchase? Horn that is suitable is either Red Deer, Sambar or Rusa. Please message this page if you'd like to chat! Cheers

17.01.2022 Knife making workshops hit the ground running from the 11th of January and students have been loving spending time being creative with their steel and knife choices... first cab off the rank was Matt who did our Carbon steel workshop and made a lovely kitchen knife for himself. Well done Matt!

17.01.2022 Hammer texturing the blade to create a unique look/finish on the knife

11.01.2022 If you happen to be in the area today or tomorrow, we have two students out in the Studio at Seppeltsfield doing our 2-day Damascus knife making workshop and if you'd like to check out what they're getting up to, enter via JamFactory (not the Studio entrance) from 11am and you can stand in the viewing area to see what's going on... the forge, power hammer, press and other bits and pieces will be on view! Recent students Cam and Alan spent their day crafting kitchen knives - Cam did our 1-day Damascus workshop and Alan did our 1-day Carbon steel workshop... great results don't you think!!

11.01.2022 Leigh came in to do our 2-day Damascus workshop and Steffen did our 1-day Damascus workshop... impressive results from all of their hard work don't you think? Well done fellas, enjoy your creations!

11.01.2022 Mark and Jason celebrated their 50th birthdays in style!! No expense spared with birthday lamingtons... there's also a story behind why there are three knives, but we'll just leave that one alone... Happy Birthday fellas!!

11.01.2022 Another creation out of the Gardner Knives Studio is this delightful Mosaic 'Basket Weave' Damascus Brisket knife... the Spalted Maple handle has come up a treat as well! Love your work Baz...

10.01.2022 After a little time off to relax, we're back in the swing of things! Our recent students have been creating some really great knives, and you can tell they enjoyed their day of forging/creating by the smiles on their faces here's the two very different knives that Karl and Cam created recently - Karl did our 2-day Damascus workshop whilst Cam did the 1-day Damascus workshop... love your work fellas!

10.01.2022 Kevin came in on his own to do our Carbon steel workshop and was keen to create a filleting knife for himself... turned out a bit bigger but still a gorgeous knife! Well done Kevin! Nice bit of Curly Mulga for the handle too.

09.01.2022 Tim and Rosie spent a day in the Studio this week; Tim did the 1-day Damascus workshop while Rosie was doing the Carbon steel workshop. Two very different knives... and you can see by those big smiles that the joy of creating something so beautiful is such a great way to spend a day. Remember too that our students are all complete beginners when it comes to knife making - you'd never know though when you check out the knives they create... well done to both of you!

07.01.2022 Mick and Tim came in to do our Carbon steel knife making workshop, creating two very different knives... we hope you love using your knives fellas! Tim also had his little companion Robbie with him - bit of a cutie don't you think?

07.01.2022 As Baz and I gear things down to have time with family and friends over the Christmas and New Year period, we'd like to say thanks to all of you who have supported us this year and also supported Gardner Knives. We have some exciting changes for next year and we are so looking forward to sharing that with you all when the time is right! We would also like to give a big shout out to a couple of our suppliers who kept our business afloat not only during COVID but also when Baz ...had his health scare. Weber Abrasives have been generous, kind and really helpful and their support for Gardner Knives is highly commended and we are deeply grateful. Gameco Artisan Supplies - Corin and the team there have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help Gardner Knives as well as Baz and I to not only manage but also thrive during an extremely challenging chapter in our lives. We have been overwhelmed by their generosity, their practical as well as emotional support and we can't speak highly enough of how much benefit they added to our lives. Things you don't expect from your suppliers... we are indebted to you. Thank you! Merry Christmas everyone and stay tuned for new adventures with Gardner Knives!! See more

07.01.2022 Baz has been playing around with the idea for the pattern in this blade for quite some time... she turned out to be an absolute beauty offset with the matching Australian Ringed Gidgee handle and also the Saya to sheath the blade in (thanks Dave :-). Stop drooling...

07.01.2022 Can you believe how cold it is today - 8 degrees here in the Barossa!! Nice to see the rain again though... Definitely keeping the home fire burning and the forge stoked in the Studio! Recent students Maverick and Wayne spent two days forging and manipulating steel into beautiful knives for themselves doing our 2-day Damascus knife making workshop...

06.01.2022 Paul was in on his own doing his 2-day Damascus workshop - check the knife out that he forged for himself... a great random-pattern Damascus blade with a beautiful piece of Australian Ringed Gidgee for his handle. Nice!

06.01.2022 Something to ponder whilst you're supposed to be working on this beautiful Friday afternoon Frank came in to do a 1-day Damascus workshop and the following two days were spent by Burnie and his son Alex doing the 2-day Damascus workshop... there sure has been a lot of Damascus heading out the door recently! Enjoy using your beautiful knives guys and well done on creating something really special for yourselves alongside some great memories. Those big smiles tell part of their story...

05.01.2022 Our last workshop for the year had just the one student doing the 2-day Damascus knife making workshop. Sherran created a fabulous knife for herself and as you can see, she involved herself in all the different aspects of what the 2-day workshop offers! Well done on forging a beautiful knife for yourself Sherran!

05.01.2022 SOLD This Mosaic 'River Damascus' kitchen knife with a beautiful Ringed Gidgee handle is on its way to a 'soon-to-be-very-happy' birthday boy! He doesn't know about his beautiful knife but it might just be THE best present ever!! What a wife...

05.01.2022 This stunning Nakiri would look great in your kitchen wouldn't it??? Hand forged in Gardner Knives Studio, this Damascus beauty has a blade length of 163mm and an overall length of 290mm. Handle is a beautiful piece of Desert Ironwood with a Brass guard and spacer... very tasty!

04.01.2022 This. Stunning. Human. Being. Happy Birthday to the love of my life It’s been a year that’s deviated in a number of different directions and through it all, you remained a stunning human being bringing joy, love and laughter to all who have had the privilege of spending time with you... thanks for being you Baz Love you always.

04.01.2022 Brad created a Damascus knife whilst Brett created a Carbon steel knife in their workshops... always great to see what students are forging for themselves, then heading home knowing to tell friends and family "I made it myself!!" Bragging rights right there...

03.01.2022 Our final students for the weekend were friends Steven and Matt; so impressed were they with the fun they had and the beautiful knives they made in our 1-day Damascus workshop that they're getting ready to book into the 2-day Damascus workshop... might be creating some beginner knife makers here!?

02.01.2022 Graham and David enjoyed their two days of Damascus knife forging judging by the smiles on their faces!

02.01.2022 Leigh came in to do his 1-day Damascus knife making workshop recently and you can see why Baz had a sore neck at the end of the day! The long and the short of it!! Leigh could double in for an actor - slight Sam Elliott lookalike??

02.01.2022 Anthony and his brother Luke spent a day in the Studio with the team, doing our 1-day Damascus knife making workshop... check those quench flame pics!!! Well done on some beautiful knives!
