HHF Knife Making Workshop
Date Options: October 1, 8, 22 2022
What
This is an hands-on event. We start with a 1095 blade blank, hardwood scales and brass rivets. Participants will:
-
Profile the blade shape
-
Grind the primary bevel
-
Heat treat
-
Rivet the scales
-
Shape the grip
-
Grind the finished edge bevel

Sharpen, finish and polish
Designed for beginners, however, our railroad spike-knife workshop provides valuable experience but is not a prerequisite at this time.
The workshop is led by Michael Sebacher, a local artisan and teacher. See his bio here.
You leave with a finished, fixed blade knife and fold-over leather sheath designed and crafted by you.
This workshop is conducted in a working blacksmith-artisan studio located on a working horse farm with the company of others who share your interest.
We take only TWO students per session to optimize safety and ensure a quality experience.
