CLASS: Forging a Camping/Utility Knife

THIS CLASS IS FULL, BUT CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE WAITLIST!

$480.00

Saturday & Sunday
July 12-13, 2025

In this class we will forge a 4-inch blade, camping/utility knife from a single bar of high-carbon steel. This type of knife is very solid and versatile, and can be used while camping, for daily use, or in the kitchen. Skills learned include hand-forging a blade and heat-treatment. Students will gain a solid understanding of proper steps in designing an knife, choosing the right steel, shaping it with a hammer, and the steps necessary for creating a tough knife with a keen cutting edge. Throughout the class, Hofi’s ergonomic forging method is practiced.

The cost is $480, which includes all materials and safety equipment. No previous blacksmithing experience required.

The class is limited to 8 students.

Description

PLEASE NOTE: Oregon governor’s office has allowed a partial opening of businesses, so Bridgetown Forge is pleased to announce the re-starting of smithing classes. However, to insure student’s and staff safety, we have introduced a series of measures to minimize the risk of transmission.

  • All classes are limited to 8 students, to allow proper distancing.
  • Hand sanitizer will be supplied and its use encouraged; shared tools, if any, will be disinfected periodically.
  • Door knobs, chairs and other frequently touched spots will be periodically sanitized.
  • Open bay doors and windows and industrial fans will assure efficient and steady ventilation at all times.
  • Students will be verbally screened via email for potential COVID-19 exposure 24 hours before class date, and again verbally before start of class, to minimize everyone’s chance or exposure.

We appreciate your understanding of the necessity to take these extra precautions during the ongoing pandemic
