Class Description: Do you fear the zombie apocalypse? Do thoughts of a worldwide economic collapse and pandemics send you scurrying for your bug-out bag? Or perhaps you just want a good chopping knife capable of doing some hard work? If so, we are offering a knife making class for you! It is designed for someone with little forging experience, but can accommodate those with a more advanced skill set.
We will be covering basic knife forging, knife design, heat treatment, grinding, sharpening and attaching handles. Participants should leave with a finished (or nearly finished) primitive style knife ready for rough use. Due to time and facility limitations this is NOT a class to make a kitchen knife.
Tools and Equipment or other items participants are to bring to the class:  Forging hammer, tongs to hold tapered flat stock.
Safety Equipment: the usual for working at a coal forge: clothes of natural fiber, no cuffs or frayed edges, non-synthetic boots or shoes. Eye and ear protection are mandatory. In addition, grinders, torches, and hot quenches will be used so keep long hair and shirt tails contained.
Lunch Arrangements: bring a lunch or eat at a local establishment.
