About this class
Made of hot steel, only with hammer and sweat. Shape, create, and create your own masterpiece. Determine your shape and find out how you can work with the elements.
Create something new out of nothing with guidance. In this course, you'll get insights into:
- Materials science
- Forge basics
- Ancient knowledge
- Helping you achieve success
- A unique experience
- Work like our ancestors
In the knife forging course, we forge a knife under guidance. Together, we will consider which form is feasible and feasible for you and then work together to create your masterpiece.
After an introduction to blacksmithing and exercises to perform and master the tasks, we move on to the final work piece. No matter what your wish is, as long as it can be implemented, we will forge it!
Regardless of whether it is a perfect knife made of steel or one with alder, we will produce it until it hardens. Steel and fire - with your own strength from every hammer blow, you create your unique knife.
