Damascus Knife Class
Come along and forge your very own patternwelded / folded / damascus knife.
You've seen it on tv you have watched it on YouTube and now is your chance to get your hands dirty and make one for your self.
On day one we will focus on forging the pattern welded billet typically around 8 inches in length which is plent you forge a knife with an overal length of 10-12" including the handle. We will fold, weld, twist, drill etc until we get the pattern within the material. We typically work with the gas forge and the hydraulic press to form the billet out
The second day of the course will be spent forging the billet out in to a knife we will then polish the blade and acid etch it to reveal the pattern and finally fit it in to a handle to finish the knife off ready to take home at the end of the second day.
The courses are run by professional full time blacksmith Will Holland FWCB of Phoenix Forge. The courses are typically run in small groups to ensure that everyone gets as much one on one tuition as they require to develop their skills.
The courses are run in a dedicated professional forge, which is relaxed working environment you will be given the time to progress at your own speed to build your confidence in working with the tools and the hot metal.
If you have done some forging already that’s great too, we can demonstrate more elaborate techniques and tricks to help you progress further.
