Knife Forging Workshop – Damascus Steel – 2 Days – Forge Your Own Damascus Steel Knife
In the Damascus forging course, you will learn the 3,500-year-old technique of welding steel – joining steel with only fire and hammer strikes! On the first day, after a few exercises, we will forge Damascus billets consisting of 150 to 200 layers and shape them into a blade. On the second day, the blade is ground and etched, revealing the unique steel pattern. After that, a wooden handle is added, and finally, the blade is sharpened enough to shave hair from the forearm.
