Join us to hand forge a Woodbury-style knife. In this class, you will learn how to forge a blade using a traditional coal-fired forge, and you will also fit a handle to your knife. A knife isn’t considered a knife till the blade is hardened and tempered back to allow the edge to retain its sharpness. You will learn how to complete each step along this process. This is a great way to learn how to work hot metal and start your journey making tools using traditional techniques.
Please note that John House will be holding a leather sheath making class April 13-14, this is a great opportunity to learn how to make a sheath for your new knife!
This class includes all materials and one meal.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
Please note, the registration deadline for this class is March 23rd, 2026.
Cancellation policy: We will not be issuing any refunds since we have instructors locked in, and it would be hard to fill the spot in the class after that.
