Well worth the day
Kelsey_B, Sep 2023
Had such a wonderful time with Palli. Knowledgeable and lovely to learn from. All you need to bring is willingness to follow directions and decent grip strength. The knives will make lovely gifts.
A thoroughly fun and relaxing workshop

I had such an enjoyable, educational and relaxing experience in the Viking Knife-Making Workshop. It will be a good-feeling memory of my travel to Iceland and a beautiful knife to take home. Our instructor Pali (sp?) was so patient, talented and friendly. It is near the Golden Circle too so we continued on the Golden Circle after we finished our workshop. A thoroughly enjoyable day!
Fabulous!

We had a fabulous day, making knives was good fun, seeing what Palli makes himself, hearing stories about Iceland and eating local food for lunch. We would definitely recommend this experience as something different to do and bringing home a wonderful memory of our time in Iceland.
So much fun
