Hank Gevedon leads this single day, make and take workshop at our Makerspace, teaching folk how to assemble their own Karambit - a small Indonesian curved knife resembling a claw. You will grind, harden and temper the blade, cord wrap the handle, weld the ring on, and even finish your own leather sheath.Hank is super excited for this one. He ran these recently for a client, and thinks this will make for a great event.
Minimum age of 16 is needed for this workshop, and minors needs their adult present - for anyone younger, Hank prefers to talk to you before they join. This is a beginner friendly event - no forge time, but you get to learn about some the finishing aspects of knife making!
Please make sure to come dressed appropriately - closed toe shoes, no loose hair or cloth, and stuff you're comfortable grinding and pounding metal in (as well as standing next to a forge). We will have some PPE available for the class.
Hank Gevedon is an experienced craftsman and teacher in Eastern Kentucky, having previously led several classes at at Berea's Festival of Learnshops. He runs Reptile Toolworks, and is an accomplished author and songwriter. Learn more about his adventures and exploits at www.reptiletool.works and his youtube page.
