Bladesmithing 202 - Forge a Knife Blade with a Wood Handle
About This Class

Forge your own knife using high-carbon steel and finsih 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.
