About

The only thing better than forging your own chef's knife is the joy that comes from preparing great food with a tool forged with your own hands. You'll learn proper forging techniques, edge geometry, heat treatment, woodworking, and of course, sharpening (you'll learn and use BARN's brand-new sharpening system). The only thing not taught is how to make great food with your tool, but of course, there are classes at BARN to help with that.

Details

• This class offers a jam-packed 24 hours of instruction over the course of four consecutive Saturdays.
• While there are no prerequisites, smithing experience will improve the final result. You're encouraged to take one of these classes before this class:
  
  • Bladesmithing: Forge a Butter Knife
  • Bladesmithing: Forge a Blacksmith’s Knife

Details

A $45 materials fee, included in the class price, covers what you'll need.
