Beginner Bladesmithing – Forging Knives to Shape

Summit Blacksmithing Shop Milepost 54, Mt Hood Highway, Government Camp

(ADD number of ATTENDEES before hitting the "GET TICKETS" button)
In this class we will be exploring the rudimentary hammer techniques used, step by step, to forge a knife blade to shape from scrap steels with very little use of a grinder. This class is centered around the clever techniques of ancient smiths melded with the minimal help of modern tools. Research the "Neo-Tribal Bladesmithing" movement and "Tai Goo" for more info on this philosophy and methodology.
