Forge your own Knife
Class Outline
-
Forge
Begin your day by heating raw steel in the forge and shaping it into your blade using traditional hammering techniques. 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 select from a variety of hardwoods to create a handle that fits both your grip and your style. You'll shape and attach the handle, giving your knife structure, balance, and a personal touch.
-
Finishing Touches
To complete your knife, you’ll polish and refine both the blade and handle, then learn how the edge is brought to a sharp, functional finish. You'll go over care tips and leave with a fully finished, one of a kind knife — handcrafted by you.
