Forged Culinary Knives in Arcata, CA - 3 Day Class: Nov. 10-12, 2023
In this 3-day class you'll be learning to make your very own forged, hidden tang chef knife from high carbon (1084) steel. We will be covering all of the steps of making a chef knife, from forging the blade, to heat treating, grinding, refining and handling the finished blade. We will cover blade materials, handle materials, basic metallurgy, knife anatomy, design theory, etc. Students should expect to complete one 6-7" chef knife.
Basic blacksmithing/bladesmithing skills are helpful for creating the best work, but not necessary - we've had plenty of students with no prior experience turn out some really great finished work.
