Forge Your Own Carbon Steel Kitchen Knife
Come on a one-day blacksmithing workshop and experience a day at the forge. Under the guidance of an experienced blacksmith, you’ll create your own kitchen knife from carbon steel – a material prized for its exceptional hardness, keen edge and the authentic craftsmanship it requires.
The workshop begins with designing the shape of your knife and lighting the forge. You’ll then move through the process of forging the blade, cutting it to shape, heat-treating, tempering, grinding, hand-sharpening and crafting the handle. There is a break for lunch at a nearby local restaurant, and by the end of the day you’ll leave with a kitchen knife you have made yourself.
This experience is intended for individuals, couples or small groups who want to learn about blacksmithing, create something useful, and experience how steel and fire, skill and patience combine to create an indispensable tool for home use.
