We are excited to be offering a new workshop with a focus on the technique of forge welding.

During 2 days, students will learn how to forge weld billets from a combination of different steels and learn how to forge a utility blade and belt buckle. The blade handle will be either twisted or wrapped with paracord.

The course is suitable for absolute beginners and incorporates some basic blacksmithing techniques specific to knife making and some simple metallurgy.

Pete Mattila will be leading the class with the help of our Waterside crew.
