Knife throwing is becoming a popular sport. The student will make 3 throwing knives from mild steel with a hardened point. This will involve forging and grinding to shape a well-balanced throwing knife. Once completed, we will practice throwing your knives at a target.
This course is designed for students who have completed a basic class or who have equivalent experience. We will cover the basics of forge-welding, learn to forge weld a loop on a bar, then will move on to forging a short length of chain. ABANA
