Private Knife making class
During this hands-on workshop, you'll create a unique knife from 1084 high carbon tool steel, designed according to your personal vision. Rest assured, all the essential tools and equipment will be supplied for your crafting experience.
Carbon steel knife care
Wash it by hand with mild soap and water, dry it immediately and thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Avoid dishwashers and acidic foods, which can cause rust. Applying a light coat of food-safe mineral oil, especially before storage, will further prevent corrosion.
Daily care
Hand wash only: Never put carbon steel knives in the dishwasher, as the heat and chemicals can damage the blade and handle.
Wash and dry immediately: Wash the knife after each use.
What to wear
Wear cotton or natural fiber clothes , it's advisable to have pants that cover the top of the boot to stop any hot things falling into your boot, no nylon please. Boots if you have them, no nylon/polyester shoes, a hat if you like (it does stop a lot of ash in the hair). Bring safety glasses and respirator (if you have them, if not I can supply) Lunch and water bottle. There are soft drinks/water available for sale
Look forward to teaching you blacksmithing
