Course overview:
Day 1:
The day kicks off at 09.30 with teas and coffees while you are introduced to the estate and the Thorn Wood Forge team. Following that, we will get straight on with our bushcraft knife project! We start by forging the hidden tang blade with the blacksmith instructors guiding you every step of the way! We will break half-way through the day for lunch, and continue onto heat treating, and grinding our blades to the desired shape. By the end of day one you’ll have a blade ready to fit to a handle!
Day 2:
The second day starts off at 09.30, this is where we turn a blade into a knife! You will learn how to fit the blade to the handle and shape the fit and feel to your preference, adjusting and tweaking along the way. The timber we use will be locally sourced and can range come from a variety of species of tree local to us here in Somerset. We aim to finish the course mid afternoon on the Sunday to ensure you can get home for dinner!
