Forge your own Knife

Class Outline

  • Forge

    Begin your day by heating raw steel in the forge and shaping it into your blade using a hammer and anvil. With guidance from expert bladesmiths, you’ll learn the fundamentals of blacksmithing and watch as your blade is hardened through heat treatment.

  • Assemble the Handle

    Once your blade is forged, you’ll create a handle that fits both your grip and your style. You'll shape and attach the handle, giving you knife balance and a personal touch.

  • Finishing Touches

    To complete your knife, you’ll etch the blade to reveal the details in the laminated steel, then learn how to sharpen your knife. You'll go over knife care tips and leave with a fully finished, one of a kind knife — handcrafted by you.
