Intermediate Blacksmithing: Letter Opener

Intermediate blacksmithing introduces the student to heat management skills when working with dissimilar sizes of metal on the same piece. The focus of the class will be on how to draw out an open handle style of knife known as a Blacksmith blade. This class will establish a basic understanding of forming the point and bevel on a blade.

Students are required to have either taken the introduction class or have prior experience blacksmithing.

Students are recommended to bring their own safety glasses and wear a long sleeve shirt and jeans for protection. Other safety gear will be available if needed.
