A beginner class geared to teach you all the steps of knife making.  A deep dive into all specifics of how and why. Forging, heat treating, tempering, design, sharpening crash course on all of it.

Decide if you want to make an indoor or outdoor knife. Have a general idea of what you want to make when you show up! In this class you may choose from any non elaborate designed full tang knife up to 5.5" (the mini chef is 5.5" in the photo)

The budget for the class includes Choice handle material- 1084 or 80crv2 mono blade steel and etc materials needed to finish the project. However, If you want to upgrade your experience with Burl wood, or Damascus steel to forge your knife from- those are extra.  The extra price is to absorb the extra costs of the materials and supplies.

• ~100 layer Damascus + 300  (blue chef example photo)
• Fine High layer Damascus +450   (brown chef knife example)
• Stabilized Burl Handle upgrades 25-100$
