Knife Making Classes

Knife Academe by Indy Hammered Knives

Well, thanks be to God! The much anticipated and requested classes are finally available. Meticulous planning and preparations have been made and tweaked in order for you to have the most amazing experience entering into the old world craft of hand forging knives.

Have you watched enough YouTube videos, been intrigued by the show Forged in Fire, or had a unfulfilled dream of working steel into an artistic, multi-generational and timeless piece to be handed down in your family for some time now but not sure how to get started. Well, here it is.

You will start with raw materials and within two 8 hour days, leave with a finished knife. One to be very proud of! One that I will consider an honor to have my "crossed IHK hammers" on as well by successfully passing on a set of skills worthy!

Please note - this is a working class, not a talking class! (I will teach using a method of E.D.I.(Educate, Demonstrate, Imitate). We have taken a lot of time to make this the best class available and find that a lot of folks felt that other classes were a little too much talking and not enough working, not the case here!

What you will learn:

Shop Safety (First and Foremost a safe class is priority no. 1)
Basic Techniques of Knife Making
How to grind and shape a knife
Forging Basics: Proper Hammering Technique, Critical Temperature, Quench
Hardening and Tempering
Free Hand Grinding a Convex Edge
Crafting a beautiful finished handle from a selection of exotic hardwoods and other materials of your choice.
