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.
