2 Person - Individual - Full Day

Service Description

In these group classes, the student will arrive for their class and choose a heat-treated knife blank (the shape of the knife has already been cut out) made of 1084 steel. They will be provided with the knife blank, a selection of basic handle materials to choose from and all the tools, equipment and supplies needed to complete their project. This includes individual workspaces featuring top-of-the-line 72” belt grinders. When help is needed, students are always able to go ask the blacksmith. If the student wishes to upgrade their steel, they must purchase an upgraded knife blank. There will be no preliminary meetings unless otherwise arranged. Group classes are not best for or recommended for beginners as they require much more self-direction and there is limited supervision from the instructor. Previous shop experience is an asset when it comes to using tools/operating equipment. Group classes can also be utilized for one-on-one students who wish to book more time to complete or continue working more independently on a project. Please note: We always do our best to help students finish their knife within their desired timeframe - but some projects take more time, some students need a bit more help, and as we all know, sometimes makers and blacksmiths (new and old) can run into challenges they had hoped to avoid. If more time is needed to complete a project, we will have an open conversation and formulate a plan to help them move forward.
