*NEW* Classic Blacksmith Knife - (January 16, 2025, 6PM-10PM)
Led By Ashley Shaw
Using the forge, tongs & hammer in addition to basic grinding and hardening techniques you’ll learn how to forge a one piece, integral blacksmith knife. You will forge this knife from 1095 high carbon steel. In this one night class you’ll make a functional knife perfect for Everyday Carry.
To start this project you will draw out the handle and forge your blade. Once you’re happy with the shape we will help you finish your chopper by showing you how to grind the face of the blade and harden to better keep an edge. A combination of basic bladesmithing and blacksmithing skills make this a great class for beginners.
