Patch Knife Class

Join us to create a custom patch knife from a three-inch block of 5160 steel.  Class begins by drawing out the block to create a twisted handle.  Students will continue to draw the blank into the shape of the blade, and finish by grinding and hardening the knife.

New class scheduled for April 20, 2024    1230pm -430pm
