Knife forging dates back thousands of years. Learn about the history of the hand-forged knife in the nineteenth century and the creation of a traditional hand-forged knife. We will talk about topics like why proper steel selection is important and guide you to properly use a coal forge and anvil for your steel to take shape. 

During this five-session workshop, you can expect to complete at least one knife. When signing up, please make sure you can attend all classes in this workshop to get the full experience. Guests must supply their own 120 grit sandpaper, an 8 or 10-inch, half-round file with handle, and a 10 or 12-inch flat file with handle.
