Join us to create a custom knife from a new higher carbon railroad spike! Students choose the style of twist for their handle, and apply techniques to create individual look and style. Continue your project by learning how to forge the blade to shape, then finish by grinding and hardening your personalized knife. Beginners are welcome, no previous blacksmithing experience is required.
Students are exposed to hot steel emitting sparks while hammered. Please wear protective clothing to cover your arms and legs. Closed-toed shoes are required. Gloves and safety glasses are provided.
Students ages 14-17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian also enrolled in the class.
