Bushcraft Knife
November 20-22, 2026
Instructor: Lashen Orendorff
In this workshop we will make a full tang bushcraft knife. Students will be shown the process of designing a blade and will work through the steps to complete this knife using hand tools at the anvil. We will forge the shape and punch the rivet holes to attach the handle scales. Hammer control, tapering and forging the bevels will be discussed, as well as the hardening and tempering processes to maintain a keen edge.
Our focus will be on forging the knife to shape, while using minimal grinding to refine and sharpen the cutting edge. Participants can expect to leave this class with a completed knife and the knowledge to turn recycled tool steel into a solid tool that is ready to be put to daily use.
