9am to 4pm

In this class, we will forge a practical, beautiful Damascus knife using  a 3/4″ diameter steel cable. Students will fuse the cable into a billet, and will proceed to forge it into a  knife. The top quality steel cables consist of allows us to make a high-performance blade, and the layering of the wires fused together create a beautiful, unique patterns in the steel. Mechanical Damascus has a very long history, as it was used to create, through forge-welding and various manipulations, some very striking and unusual patterns. A modern take-on is the cable Damascus, which is one of my favorites due to its availability, predictability, practicality, performance, and pleasing appearance. Skills learned in this class include forge-welding, drawing out, shaping, hardening, and tempering. We will forge and heat-treat our blades and hand-hone the edge. No previous experience required.

The class fee is $480.

The class is limited to 8 students.
