Adult Workshop
adult with experience
November 14 - November 18
Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

The Bowie knife is one of America's most famous knives steeped in history and legend. In this five day intensive students will learn the ins and outs of forging, grinding, and heat treating this iconic blade. Once the blades are ready students will create a guard and handle using steel and wood. Attention will be made to the feel and balance of these knives as well as the edge geometry and performance. Students will need safety glasses, dust mask or respirator, leather work gloves, (welding gauntlets not needed) and should wear jeans, a non-flammable cotton shirt and/or jacket, and closed-toed boots or leather shoes. Our forge is an outdoor building that is only semi-enclosed; please dress accordingly. For full-day workshops, please bring a lunch to be on the safe side, as there may or may not be time to get food during a lunch break.
