The instructors were born in the family with 3 generations making knives and scissors so they learned this trade since early age. They have been working hard every day to make the best knives and scissors. Despite the fact that this job is hard, they still have a great passion for it. And I am Mai - a craft lover who created and organized this workshop and will also perform as a facilitator + translator for English speaking guests. Look forward to hosting you! :) Other things to note: - Long sleeves and long pants are high recommended to avoid sparks. No dress please. - Timings are flexible so if there's another time you would prefer than what I have marked as available then message me and I will check my schedule and let you know if it is available. - Make sure you have check-in luggage to carry your knife home.

One of a kind experience
Hands down one of the best tour experiences and certainly the best one in Vietnam. Mai Thai has a great relationship with the village blacksmiths and they made me feel home while ensuring I had an authentic experience. I ended up making my first knife and it is an experience that was as unforgettable as it was unique.

Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village cost?
+
Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village?
+
Included: Equipment Glass and Gloves. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village?
+

What languages is Experience Knife Making in Blacksmith Village offered in?
+

+
