So you’ve always wanted to make a knife?
This 1 day class with CHARLIE ELLIS is a great place to start, we’ll begin with stock removal vs forging, material selection, the tools needed and how to heat treat before getting to work on a preheat treated blank. We’ll grind the bevels, attach and shape the handle scales and finish with a sharp ready for action tool.
CLASS DIFFICULTY: BEGINNER
ALL AGES 18+ AND SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME!
