Forging Western style Chef Knives with Simon Rhodes

In this two day class, we will forge and complete a western style chef's knife. Students will forge their blades from 1084 high carbon steel, to a finished length of about eight inches. After heat treatment and grinding, students will shape handles from natural wood and fit them to their blades. You will leave the course with a fully finished and sharpened chef's knife.

You must be 18 years or older to attend this class.
