Damascus Steel Chef

A hands-on two day bladesmithing class in the Iron Grove Tool Co. shop focusing on making, from start to finish, a fully functional high carbon damascus steel chef knife. Can be based on our house-made culinary knives or a custom design.
 
We'll discuss shop safety, equipment usage and basic metal-movement principles before forge-welding a layered steel billet from differing available steels, shaping a blade from that billet, learning the full heat treatment process for the steels used, grinding/sanding edge geometry specific to the intended use of the knife, crafting a function wood handle from available material and sharpening the blade.
 
There is no set time limit to the class, we go until we finish. All tools, materials and safety equipment will be provided. The student(s) will leave with their own handmade damascus chef knife with a padded case. Contact the shop to schedule.
