The knife features a one-piece, all metal construction with an integral handle, combining simplicity and durability. Students will learn essential knife-making skills including heat treating, grinding, and sharpening. This class is a solid introduction to the fundamentals of bladesmithing and is great for beginners eager to explore the art of knife making.
