All Levels TBD Materials and Studio Fees* Throughout history, blacksmiths have made their own tools, among them the “blacksmith’s knife.” Typically, this is an all-metal knife that could be produced without any woodworking tools, as one would in a blacksmith’s shop. This modern take on the blacksmith’s knife adds the element of being a folding knife to make this more convenient for modern life. In this course, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of knifemaking and learn how to produce a fully-functional tool that will last a lifetime. Over the four days of the class, we will learn how to forge a blade, heat-treat, make a handle, and sharpen the new blade. *Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor. Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided. Final cost of these fees will be posted at least two weeks ahead of the workshop to be paid in full prior to check-in.
