Blacksmith’s Knife
August 28-30, 2026
Instructor: Lashen Orendorff
In this three day workshop students will learn to forge the traditional blacksmith’s knife, a 4” blade with an integral forged handle made from carbon steel. We will be working at the anvil, forging the shape, and then move to the bevels of the blade.
After forging, we will walk through the concepts and practice of hardening and tempering to preserve the cutting edge and toughness to the blade. This class is designed as an introduction to forged cutting tools and offers students a project that promotes hammer control and a keen eye for detail, all while creating a functional hand-forged knife.
