Hello everyone!
If you have ever been interested in learning the basic skills involved in forging a Japanese sword, now is your chance!
A basic forging course will be held near Guelph, Ontario this July 21-25. Participants in this course will learn, through hands-on instruction, the techniques of forging a san-mai blade as they construct a Japanese knife (tanto). All the steps in forging a knife are applicable to larger blades.
July is approaching quickly, and spaces are limited. For more information, check out:
