Can I take work experience with you/become an apprentice?
Subject to scheduling and availability. IF this is ever possible, it will be unpaid and done on a volunteering basis. You are welcome to book into a structured weekend course instead
Can I book a bladesmithing course with you?
Absolutely – assuming there are dates available (gift certificates can be arranged on request. see here for courses and prices and here for dates & availability. Due to Knife Laws and Insurances, courses are subbject to strict age restrictions (18+). Demonstrations are limited to 16+ and a parent/guardian must also be present
Do you run courses in sharpening?
No, I only run a brief sharpening tutorial as part of a bladesmithing course.
Can you sharpen my knives?
Yes, during limited windows at this time – usually 1 thursday per month but I hope to expand on this but will be very schedule dependant. See sharpening prices and availability
Can you make a “samurai sword”?
Probably, but I wont
Can you make me an unlawful blade or weapon, like a knuckle duster?
Absolutely not. Not even for export or film/television or religious purposes. See the “Banned List”.
To do so would risk my livlihood, business and reputation not only as a responsible maker but also a member of the community. I am also duty bound to report such requests to my local authority, given the terms of my Knife Dealers License. This does also include if you want any hate symbols, numbers or lettering incorporated into the design
Can I visit the workshop to discuss a potential comission from you?
Yes, please EMAIL directly on bookings@glitteringedge.com. Phone calls are fine but this must be followed up with an email to confirm any appointments
Please dont just turn up unannounced as you may be turned away. I do not arrange appointments via social media
Can I visit the workshop just because it would be really cool?
Yes, but this will depend on my schedule at the time. Please EMAIL for this
Can I buy something from your online shop?
Yes, please email me with the item(s) you wish to buy along with your shipping address and a copy of your age verification ID. Current stock can be found HERE
Im visiting briefly but want to buy a knife. Can I do this?
Yes, depending on my schedule and advanced booking. Current stock can be found HERE
Can you ship a sword internationally?
Currently (14th May 2025) this is subject to review. Very few couriers are now willing to ship swords so until I learn more information from the 1 remailing courier that has potential for this, swords are collection only.
