About this class

This is a simple knife to make and a great starting place if you have an interest in blade making. From a single piece of tool steel, you will forge out the blade and then draw out and bend the handle into place. A simple heat treatment recipe is done, followed by a belt ground polish and sharp edge. All materials and supplies are included.
