Join our Railroad Spike Knife Workshop to craft a unique, functional knife from a vintage railroad spike guided by our instructors. This hands-on workshop combines history, art, and blacksmithing skills, upcycling ordinary materials into extraordinary craftsmanship. It is an ideal introduction to knife-making. No previous experience is necessary.

 

What You'll Discover

  • Material Insight: Select the best railroad spike and learn about upcycling. 
  • Forging Skills: Heat, shape, and refine the spike into a robust knife.
  • Creative Finishing: Personalize your handle and hone the blade to perfection.

 

What You'll Gain

  • Active Engagement: Be involved in the step, from forging to the final touches.
  • Personalized Guidance: Receive learning and support from our blacksmiths.
  • Unique Creation: Walk away with your own handcrafted railroad spike knife, rich in history.
  • Blacksmithing Insights: Gain knowledge of traditional techniques and the history behind your creation.

 

Note: Railroad spikes are low in carbon, limiting heat treatment options, which we'll discuss but you will not perform during the workshop.
