In this two-session workshop, you’ll transform raw steel into a hand-forged knife. Under expert guidance, you’ll learn essential blacksmithing skills as you heat, hammer, shape, and finish a knife with a decorative handle, all from a single piece of upcycled steel. Along the way, you’ll gain hands-on experience using the forge, anvil, files, and grinders while learning the fundamentals of heat treatment and blade finishing.
This workshop offers a rare opportunity to connect with traditional craftsmanship and walk away with a functional, heirloom-quality piece. All tools and materials are included.
