The Intro to Knife Forging class is a two day class.
9am-5pm, both days
Lunch is provided & beers to share after class!
In this Introduction to Knife Forging, we will focus on the fundamentals of what makes a great culinary knife. From steel type and heat treat to shaping and finishing techniques, we will set the student up with the basic knowledge and hands-on learning to get started in knife making. This is a forging class. Students will hammer, grind, and finish their blade before shaping and attaching their handle. We purposely designed this class with a maximum of 3 students so that you have dedicated one-on-one time with the instructor.
This two day, 16 hour class will consist of classroom as well as shop time. The student will walk home with an 8" Chef’s knife. Lunch at noon and beers/beverages after class will be provided.
