Build a custom, high-performance cutting tool from scratch using traditional stock removal methods. In this hands-on course, you will transform a raw bar of tool steel and a block of resin-impregnated wood into a beautiful, durable, full-tang fixed-blade knife.

This class is completely kit-free; you will design, profile, bevel, and heat-treat your own blade from raw materials.

Please Note: This course focuses entirely on the stock removal method (shaping steel by grinding and cutting). Material forging (blacksmithing with a hammer and anvil) is not included.
