Featured Course
Cable Damascus (Intermediate)
This course introduces the concept of forge welding cable to create patterns in the steel. This not only makes attractive blades, but also a very tough, flexible blade that keeps a great edge. This process is called "pattern welding" or sometimes "Damascus" after the city which made the process famous.
The finished blade is then etched in acid to bring out the patterns of the different parts of the cable - often with dramatic results.
Gift vouchers are available for our courses. Each voucher comes as a beautiful full colour certificate with the recipients name on it and the course you have organised. The price is the same as the course. They are valid for a year after purchase.
