KNIVES
and
BLADES
Looking to hammer out a blade?
After forging, a belt grinder is used to remove stock and reveal your blade’s edge. Ears/Eyes/Lungs: protection is required and provided to all students. We accommodate disabilities and adaptive equipment.
If you are ready to forge a blade:
The Full-Tang Blade is a well-paced two day class, demanding but possible for the determined. You do not need prior experience to sign up for this class but we do require you visit for a mandatory shop safety lecture.
Official CBA Curriculum Classes are recommended to students who want to forge a different blade. Combine the official classMembership allows forge access . Celeste and her blacksmiths are making new knife classes, stay tuned!
If you’re hoping for something easier to start:
“Intro" classes are set up for new smiths to feel out the art in a single session, and two of those classes are blade making (currently).
“Intro” Railroad Spike Knife is our most attended and popular offering. A classic design, challenging steps, and boy does it shine up nicely.
“Intro” Sword Box Cutter has more steps, but the final product is addicting to hold and impressively detailed. This knife is slightly easier to forge since it’s such a svelte little thing.
See all our classes or sign up for an “Intro” class below. Enter Quantity first if you’re bringing a friend or a group.
