Blacksmithing Forging - Make a Knife Blade with a Wood Handle *3 Session Workshop*

Forge your own knife using high-carbon steel and finish with a custom wood handle. You'll forge both blade and tang to shape, finish-grind, harden and draw the temper, and rivet hardwood panels for the handle.

The skills you learn in this 3 day series can be applied to any edge-tool design; you'll go home with a knife of your own design suitable for camp or kitchen! Instructors will encourage, demonstrate, and coach you, while telling both the history of knifemaking and bad jokes.

Prerequisite: Blacksmithing 101 or preapproved by our instructor if you have prior blacksmithing experience.

Ages 16+ welcome. Minors may take this class if a parent/guardian is registered and attends the class with them.
