About the event
Classic medieval "kitchen" knife, Small 4-to-6-inch blade with flip back handle, a pig's tail finger guard, a twist to improve grip and a forged edge. This knife will be made in traditional style using a hammer, file and whetstone. A great challenge that will result in a great product, one that you will be proud to use around the campfire or when re-enacting.
You will also learn about coal fire management. Extra time is available if you want to stick around to polish your blade after class. We will use modern tools - power hammer/grinders - only if we get behind on time.
What to expect:
This one-day class starts with a healthy dose of blacksmithing safety and then progresses into hammer control exercises where you will make a medieval style utility knife. You will learn drawing out, hot punching, hardening, quenching, tapers, bending and finishing.
