About This Activity

PREREQ: BLA101 Introduction to Blacksmithing Turn an ordinary railroad spike into a cool knife at the forge! Every student leaves class with an amazing knife that they create!! Note to parents: You determine how sharp we get the blade edge!! Skills learned: * Drawing out material and thinning it out * Planning and executing on that plan * Tapering both toward the tip and from the back of the blade to the edge * Using the entire anvil to shape * Twisting (handle shape determined by the student -- this is optional) For anyone who has taken this class before, you can sign up again and create a new design too! Get creative!!
