SUMMARY:Damascus Paring Knife
DESCRIPTION:In this dynamic two day class students will forge a billet of pattern welded damascus\, then forge heat treat\, grind polish and etch several 2-3? bladed all steel paring knives. These little knives though relatively quick to make\, are extremely useful in the kitchen and a wonderful platform to explore how thickness and geometry of the edge contribute to a knife’s cutting abilities. Most students complete at least two knives in the class. This repetition is essential to cementing the skills learned in the class\, allowing students to truly learn from mistakes and reinforce the lessons learned. Skills covered include: basic forge welding of damascus steel\, pattern development in damascus steel\, forging blades to shape\, basic heat treating of knives\, grinding and finishing of knives\, etching damascus steel and sharpening knives.

SUMMARY:National Curriculum Level 1
DESCRIPTION:The National Curriculum offers a step-by-step progression through three levels of fundamental blacksmithing skills. Certification signifies that a smith has demonstrated mastery of a specific set of skills\, increasing in complexity with each level: Level I (beginner)\, Level II (intermediate)\, Level III (advanced). Level I is the first level of the curriculum and is designed as a guide through beginning blacksmithing techniques. Starting with safety\, Level I then moves into core skills and techniques\, including tapering\, bending\, forging and heat-treating hand tools\, punching and drifting\, basic blacksmithing math\, forging to dimension\, forge-welding\, and creating tenons. It culminates in a final project\, the Gate Latch\, designed to test the student on these skills. Upon completion of Level I\, students will have confidence in the most essential blacksmithing skills and be able to forge a wide variety of projects. The program is designed to provide a solid foundation within the craft. To earn certification\, the student needs to successfully complete the projects and techniques as outlined in the checklist in the Level I Student Packet. This is found on the website abana.org The checklist allows students and instructors to keep track of progress. ABANA will accept the recommendation from an Affiliate?s Education Program Chair or the judgment of a Certified Level I Instructor that qualifies a student as having passed Level I.
