Damascus Workshops

LEVEL 3

There are different steps involved in producing Damascus steel. It is because of this lengthy process that our traditional craftsmanship can guarantee that every billet is unique.

Classes are subject to change. We reserve the right to cancel with a full refund if we do not receive enough participants within 30 days of the workshop.

DAMASCUS 300

Basic Damascus
May 6, 2023

Learn the very basics of forging a simple damascus billet. The billets will be preassembled, so we will be able to dive right into forging. We will give a demo and intro to using a power hammer, then forge & restack the billet, reweld, then pattern.

You will leave with a billet large enough for an EDC knife.

The focus of this course is on making a damascus billet. We will go through the process from cutting the material, cleaning, stacking, & welding. Then restacking into a configuration to start creating a mosaic bar. Then, we will show the process of a ferry flip to take the end grain and make it so it will be seen on the sides of the billet. Prepping to be able to forge a knife.
