In this one day class, students will learn to forge, grind, heat treat and finish a simple utility/hunting knife. These blades will be forged from a single piece of 1084 high carbon steel and finished with a paracord wrapped handle. You will leave this class with a set of foundational skills central to bladesmithing, along with your finished knife.
