HOW IT WORKS
First, don proper PPE (provided). Second, learn about blacksmithing tools like hammers and tongs. Next, help light a propane forge. Then spend the next hour hammering and shaping your blade. Next, learn about annealing and tempering steel with heat, sand and oil. Then use a grinder and files to sharpen your knife (if desired). Finally, temper and oil-quench your knife to achieve the hardness necessary for a blade.
