Forged Kitchen Set

A hands-on three day (24+/- hours) in-depth bladesmithing class in the Iron Grove Tool Co. shop focusing on making, from start to finish, a high carbon steel culinary knife set. 
 
We'll discuss shop safety, equipment usage and basic metal-movement principles before forging blades from available steels, learning the full heat treatment process for the steel used, grinding/sanding edge geometry specific to the intended use of each knife, crafting handles and sharpening the blades.
 
The number of tools we can complete depends on the student's desired sized and complexity of  each within the set. Four to six blades on average. Comes with a handsewn leather roll.
 
There is no exact set time limit to the class, we go until we finish the project. All tools, materials and safety equipment will be provided. The student will leave with their own handmade knife set. Contact the shop to schedule.
