  • Knife grinding techniques

  • Knife assembly techniques

  • Handle shaping

  • Heat treating basics

  • Steel and wood care and upkeep

  • Walk home with a hand-forged kitchen knife that YOU made!

Duncan Stephenson is the owner and maker at Horn & Heel. A professional bladesmith of 9 Years with a BFA in Metal Design from East Carolina University, specializing in culinary knives.
