In this class, you make a Classic Southern-style 10″ Bowie Knife. You will forge, harden, temper, and file the blade. You will build a custom hardwood handle, mount the handle to the blade, and work through shaping, polishing, and putting the final finish on the blade. As a final step, we will sharpen the blade to make it ready for use. This class requires that you bring a few of your own tools, something you can add to your own shop after the class, to continue your craft.
