Damascus Forging Class

Learn the basics of Pattern Welding, more commonly known as the making of “Damascus Steel”. You will be forge-welding a combination of high carbon and nickel steel to produce patterns in the steel.

This class covers only the forging of the billets, you will not be making any knives during this class. After the class, you can use the steel to produce a knife either through our forge rental program, or by attending another knife class using your billet as a starting point.

You will produce enough steel for about 1-2 knives if all instructions are followed, your first billet will have about 30+ layers, photos are for illustration only.

Class Starts at 10AM or 2PM and runs for 3 hours. Feel free to take this class twice if you’d like to restack your billets to reach over 100 layers.
