The facts about the forging course:
Knifesmithing course for one person over one day course for an outdoor knife. We forge a blade from mono steel up to a length of 12 cm with a plug. Handle made of wood, bone or antler. Leather sheath made of cowhide. Included are food and all common materials*.

The course always starts at 8 am and ends when the complete knife is finished! Please bring old clothes.

You will make your entire knife by hand, I do not have any ready-made blanks. You will forge your blade by hand and harden it, then it will be tempered, during this time you will have a hot lunch. Then you glue your chosen handle and finish it. Finally, the leather sheath is made by hand with the help of my wife and I sharpen your knives to an ultra sharp finish.

You go home with a completely finished knife!

*Surcharge will be applied for: Armour and gun barrels, ice age bones. This can then be paid for on site.

WHY NO DAMASK COURSES:
It would take at least 1 day to forge the raw material, and at the end you would possibly have a knife with flaws, because you
the end, and the result of the course would be ruined! I personally refuse to work with finished blanks.

Why use high-quality mono steels or historical steels:
If you choose historical steel, e.g. from tanks of the Second World War, you have something energetic in front of you, of unique quality.
unique. And you can see in the finished knife what you have in front of you, as it is usually found in the ground. The knives have a unique rustic
rustic look.
If you take a mono steel specially made for knives, for example tungsten steel, you get a knife where you know exactly what the ingredients of the steel are.
With both steels there have never been quality problems in any of my courses, they are always a good choice!!!!
