Featured Course
Damascus (Advanced)
This intensive weekend course is an introduction to Pattern Welded or Damascus steel. You will learn techniques in welding, folding and patterning beautiful and unique steel. We'll be using a hydraulic power press and rolling mill to make the welds and draw down the billets. You will make two billets and two forged blades to keep and finish into knives. The billets will allow you to make a number of other knives in the future either by forging or stock removal.
The course goes from Saturday morning until Sunday Afternoon. For starting dates of next courses see the upcoming courses list on the side panel.
Cost - $880 (incl GST)
Some experience in knifemaking or blacksmithing is an advantage for the course.
Fantastic knife vices from Alistair Phillips. These bench mounted vices allow up to a 6" blade to be held to either work on he handle or the blade. Larger vices can be made to order.
Perfect for hand finishing blades or filework. Allows full rotation in working on handles to ensure a high standard of finish.
$50 + POSTAGE
