Introduction to Bladesmithing - Make a Knife!
In this class, students will create a small kitchen utility knife. Starting with a section of flat 1080 steel bar, the class will cover forging, grinding, heat treatment, handle fitment and finishing techniques. Students will leave with a finished, full-tang blade, ready to prep a meal. There will be opportunities for additional forging as time allows. This class is appropriate for beginners as well as those with blacksmithing experience.
Dates: August 1-3 (3-day class)
