Dive into the world of knife smithing with this beginner-friendly workshop in Brooklyn. In this hands-on class, you will learn how to make a custom Hunter knife.
Learn the art, science, and practice of using heat and hammers (among other tools) to shape steel. You will transform a rough preform of 4140 steel into a beautiful knife of your own design. The blank allows you to take your knife in a variety of different directions. Learn how to shape a clip point or drop point, or some blending of design that you create.
The first portion of this workshop will focus on heating and shaping the with a hammer and anvil. You’ll heat up your steel in our propane forge until it’s red-hot then use a hammer and anvil to create the profile of your knife. Rinse and repeat until you have the shape you want. It’s a great workout!
Finally, you’ll heat the knife up one more time and quench it in oil to harden the blade. This involves red-hot metal and usually a little fire when you dunk your knife into the oil. Don't forget to snap some pictures to impress your friends later!
After you’ve quenched the rough shape of your knife, you’ll use a grinder to refine the shape and form the bevel of your knife, which is the core of its cutting edge. Once you have fully shaped your knife you’ll put the finishing touches on your masterpiece – wrapping your knife’s handle and sharpening it to a razor’s edge.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll work with various tools and materials to bring your vision to life. The experience might be physically demanding, but the satisfaction of creating something with your own hands is incredibly rewarding. Leave the workshop with a stunning masterpiece, a newfound craft skill, and a tangible symbol of your craftsmanship to cherish.
