Tuition: $450
Material fee: $65

In this comprehensive 3 day workshop students will be forging and finishing a handy fixed blade for “Every Day Carry” This knife will be more compact than the knife made in our hunting knife class. Each student can expect to make one full tang knife out of 1084 high carbon steel with an exotic wood or phenolic laminate handle. All aspects of knifemaking will be discussed during the course including but not limited to forging processes, heat treating, design, proper grinding techniques and most importantly how to hone a keen edge. An added bonus is the entry level Kydex sheath making, ensuring your new blade has a safe and handy place for to live.
To put the “C” in EDC we will be making a molded thermoplastic sheath to go with it. This would be a great class for students who have never don’t this type of work before and want to make a tool they can use “Every Day”.
