Beginner Bladesmithing: Seahorse Knives | The Inventor Center

Details

Join the Beginner Bladesmithing: Seahorse Knives event in Kingsport at The Inventor Center on December 2, 2023. This class is a must for anyone interested in learning about blacksmithing and creating their own small knife. Led by experienced blacksmith and bladesmith Brenden Bohannon, participants will not only forge their own all-steel knife but also gain knowledge about blacksmithing history, tooling information, and basic concepts. This class serves as a prerequisite for advanced classes to come. After the forging process, the knives will undergo heat treatment and be ground to achieve a sharp edge. Attendees can then take their finished knives home for a final temper in a home oven. Suitable for individuals aged 16 and above (under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian), the event requires participants to wear cotton or non-synthetic clothes that can get dirty, full-length pants, and closed-toed shoes. Brenden Bohannon, a resident of Johnson City, Tennessee, is a full-time blacksmith, bladesmith, and lifelong artist. His expertise in iron age designs and focus on creating functional pieces make this event a unique learning opportunity. Don't miss out on the chance to forge your own knife and delve into the world of blacksmithing with Brenden Bohannon. Secure your spot at the event for a ticket price of $55.20.
