SUMMARY:Damascus Paring Knife
DESCRIPTION:In this dynamic two day class students will forge a billet of pattern welded damascus\, then forge heat treat\, grind polish and etch several 2-3? bladed all steel paring knives. These little knives though relatively quick to make\, are extremely useful in the kitchen and a wonderful platform to explore how thickness and geometry of the edge contribute to a knife’s cutting abilities. Most students complete at least two knives in the class. This repetition is essential to cementing the skills learned in the class\, allowing students to truly learn from mistakes and reinforce the lessons learned. Skills covered include: basic forge welding of damascus steel\, pattern development in damascus steel\, forging blades to shape\, basic heat treating of knives\, grinding and finishing of knives\, etching damascus steel and sharpening knives.

SUMMARY:Pizza Knife
DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on class\, students will craft a 12″ dual-handled pizza knife designed for precision and durability. Students will start by firing up their coal forge\, and then shape their blade from a single piece of mild steel. Once forged\, the blade will be hardened using a super quench process to ensure lasting strength. Students will grind their knives to a razor-sharp edge\, ideal for slicing pizza with a smooth rocking motion. Inspired by the traditional Eskimo Ulu knife\, this versatile tool also lends itself to tasks such as fleshing animal hides\, making it both functional and historically rooted.
