Half Day Knifemaking Class

Beginning with a pre-shaped and heat-treated full tang blade, you will secure pins, attach a handle, and complete the finishing work of hand sanding, polishing and sharpening your knife. You will walk away with a complete, handcrafted knife. Up to 4 hour of class time starting at 8 a.m.

This class will be taught by a friend of Arkansas Knife Shop at his home forge in Maumelle, Arkansas. Teaching bladesmithing is his passion.
