Pops and Goat n Hammer’s take on a hobbyist favorite, the Railroad Spike Drop Point Knife is a great place to begin your journey into bladesmithing. In this class we will go through material isolations, creating a pre-former, beveling and shaping the blade, profile grinding, and heat treat, and finally we will sharpen your knife to a razor's edge.

No experience necessary, but be prepared for some hard work. Ages 16 and up.

- Please arrive for your class at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. 

- Please remember to bring some snacks and plenty of water or other beverages, and be sure to eat a hearty meal before class. 

- We do not use central heat or air in the workshop, so please come prepared for the weather.

- We require you to wear close toed shoes, preferably leather boots and non-flammable (i.e. high cotton/wool/leather content clothing), as well as safety glasses if you don’t already wear glasses.

Depending on the speed of the group, classes may occasionally run longer than the planned end time. Please plan accordingly.
