Any thoughts on this?

Two-Day "Forge a Kitchen Knife" Workshop

In this two day class we will forge a kitchen knife / chef's knife to a pattern of your design.
This will be a high carbon steel knife, forged on the anvil from a stock piece of steel. This knife will be forged with a hidden tang and will be fitted with a stabilised wooden handle. Typical blade length will be between 6 - 8", perfect for use in the kitchen as an all-rounder.

Looks like it could be a fun Christmas / birthday present. For me.

I'd say a knife sharpening class is more useful.
And something that you'll call upon, time and again.
Unless, of course, you want the experience of forging a knife.

What @Acliff said, I think - this is for fun, rather than for learning a skill that I need.

(For what it's worth, I'm happy* with my sharpening skills.)

(* When I say "happy", I mean the times that I haven't just spent 30 minutes making something that can't even cut warm butter.)
