Beginner Bladesmithing with Joe Vachon: Forging Knives to Shape-September 21, 2025 9am-1pm

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

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.
