In this two-day workshop you will learn the skills of knife
making from certified master blade smith Jason Hawk.  Jason will provide
all the tools and
materials for you to forge your own steel blade knife or tool.

Jason Hawk has been forging greatly sought-after blades for
20 years out of high quality steel and found materials and teaches how easy,
inexpensive and fun it is to forge your own tools that will last a
lifetime.  Jason is a  master
blade smith and a primitive skills instructor.  A
fourth-generation blacksmith, Jason learned these skills from his
grandfather and father, who was a Special Forces Instructor.  By age
10,Jason was skilled at making traps,
spears, bows, and knives, and  received
his Colorado guiding license at 16.

On the first day Jason will teach you how to construct several
styles of forges out of simple materials.  You will also begin the process
of creating your own knife.  The second day will be focused on forging of
blades for tools, weapons and knives.  You will have the opportunity to
forge your own blade and leave with an
understanding of how to do it on your own.  Each person will get hands on
experience and guidance in creating their
own finished piece.

We have reserved a third day with Jason to be available for
advanced instruction.  This will only be
available to a few people so let us know at signup time if you are interested.

$165 for two days of intensive instruction
