This enables you to bring home a beautiful and functional finished product.You’ll practice moving metal to specific dimensions, tapering and turning the beautifully curved handle. You’ll also gain experience forming and sharpening your knife to razor sharpness.By the end of the class, you’ll have learned basic blacksmithing techniques and made a cool knife for yourself!Instructor:Jordan Pennington has been making knives for over 6 years.
