Instructor David Spurlock
Beginning knife-makers and bladesmiths will benefit from this hands-on class. No experience is required. Students will work through every step that it takes to complete a personal, fixed-blade full tang knife - forging and grinding the blades, hardening and tempering the steel, all the way through finishing with handles and sheaths. Students will be able to choose from several styles. You will finish and take home at least one knife with sheath in this five day class.
The instructor will provide all major tools and materials; however, participants should plan to bring a full cloth apron, safety glasses, leather gloves, and appropriate clothing. This class takes dexterity and willingness to work. As one recent student said, “I didn’t know knifemakers did this much sanding!”
This class is for students ages 16 and up.
