Description

Do you want to learn an old world trade taught by a Master Blacksmith? Join us for a Damascus Steel Knife Class as we Fire up the Forge! Tired of the boring, same old office life consuming your Monday - Friday?  Want to learn a new (old) trade while getting your hands dirty and have some fun in a real forge?  Join us for a weekend class where you will learn some bladesmithing basics and get to make your own knife from Damascus steel!  This 2-day class is from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, with a one-hour lunch break both days.  Class size is limited to 6 attendees, so you will receive one-on-one attention and while participating in a hands-on learning environment. It is a highly interactive class, and you will work alongside blacksmiths creating a knife that is yours to keep! You will hammer, forge, harden, make the handle, sharpen, and do a great deal of the work yourself, and by the end of Sunday's class, you will take home your handmade finished product and leave with knowledge of introductory knife-making, and a proud feeling of accomplishment from your hard work.
