Welcome to Bladesmithing!
LEVEL 2
Forged in Fire fan? Us, too!
In fact, our President, Rodger “Grizz” LaBrash was on Season 5, and our main instructor, Clayton Cowart, were contestants on the epic show as well!
While a blade can be made in one course, there are skills that are helpful to learn before you try to dive right into forging, especially a blade! These skills can be acquired in other courses that we offer and will make a difference in the quality and outcome of your knife.
*Basic Blacksmithing 100 is required to take any knife workshops but is not required for CHALLENGES.
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.
