PREREQ: You must take the BLA101 - Intro class or the Railroad Spike Knife class prior to taking this one. This class requires some mad-blacksmithing-skills!! NOTE: This class runs Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings. No Wed. Class. We will forge a fixed blade tactical knife out of high carbon steel. Forge, shape, heat treat, and finish your knife in three afternoon sessions. Students will determine the shape, but all handles will be a paracord wrap and the guards are integral (built-in). Blade length: Roughly 5" Blade shape options: Clip point, drop point, or flat back Finish: Smooth hand-rubbed or acid-etched
