Make your Knife I.

In the production of a simple Celtic-style knife with a leather wrap, you will experience the basics of knifemaking. You will learn to forge a knife from spring steel, hand-file and sandpaper for shaping, heat treatment processes for steel (annealing, quenching, and tempering), final sharpening, and surface finishing of the knife. Finally, you will also try working with leather - wrapping the handle and sewing a sheath. The end product of this course is a functional, sharp knife suitable for everyday use.

We recommend completing a beginner's course first, but if you are skilled and have experience with manual work, it is not a prerequisite.
