2023 Classes are Full. We are taking registrations and scheduling new classes for next year. Order now and we'll send you a gift certificate to print before Christmas. This is a one- day class where you will forge your own blade from raw steel into a functional knife. This is not a demonstration class - you'll be hammering steel the moment you arrive while learning forging and blade-smithing techniques and tools you'll need for your own journey. This is a beginner to intermediate class, but we will customize the class to fit your skill level and what you are interested in. Class size is limited to 2. Once you sign up, we will schedule your class. What You Will Learn Basic techniques of forging a knife blade Heat treating and tempering How to grind and shape a knife style of your choice How to shape and fit handle material of your choice Each person will be provided with one piece of high-carbon steel and handle material and will have the opportunity to complete one full knife. About Our Shops We are well-equipped with propane forges, anvils, vises, a hydraulic forging press, Ameribrade and Grizzly grinders, band saw, drill press, angle grinders, and lots of tools. What To Bring Gloves, safety glasses, steel toed boots, and proper clothing is the responsibility of the student. We will break for a one-hour lunch on the first day where you can bring your own lunch or go off-site. Take Home One Knife You will forge to shape, grind, heat treat and finish one knife complete with handle if you follow instructions. Example Schedule Saturday 8 AM – 5PM (1 Hour Lunch) Sunday 1PM – 3PM (If needed)
