Description
Can you handle the heat? Want to experience what it takes to make your own knife? Under the tutelage of Graham, David & Decklan Clarke you will learn to make a fully useable carbon steel knife. During your day you will: * Shape your knife using a gas forge, hammer, anvil. * Normalise your blade in the gas forge * Grind your blade to it's near finished shape * Heat-treat your blade (without the fiery theatricals as seen on television) * Take an optional upgrade to a Paracord Wrap handle for just £10 extra (payable on the day by card or cash) if you wish * Finish grind and sharpen your blade. Graham is a qualified Metallurgist and has many years experience both as a knife maker and a commercial heat treater. The course is open to all. Children between the ages of 13 and 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Children aged 10-12 must be accompanied by an adult helper. They will work together as a pair (at the cost for 1 person) to make 1 knife. Unfortunately experience has shown us that children younger than 10 will not have the strength to forge or the size to work on our grinders safely.
