【Workshop(s)】Wilderness Living: Outdoor Survival Knife-Making Course

Wilderness Living: Outdoor Survival Knife-Making Course Thousands of years ago, bladesmiths were regarded as magicians or shamans, believed to possess mystical powers—because they could shape hard metal drawn from the depths of the earth into formidable weapons. Such traditional bladesmiths have become increasingly rare in the modern world. Likewise, knives that are purely hand-forged using ancient techniques and primitive tools are exceptionally valuable, each one truly unique. Crafting a handmade knife is a demanding process. From design and forging, through normalization, quenching, tempering, and finally completing the blade, every stage is critical. For a bladesmith, performance is always the top priority. Each knife is made according to its intended function, with the aim of achieving optimal performance. Now, you have the opportunity not only to learn about but also to personally experience the entire forging journey—how a humble piece of metal is transformed into a sharp, functional weapon through pure handcraft. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51063165971_c4890984de_b.jpg ｜Course Content｜ Difficulty Level: ★ 08:00–08:30 Participant check-in and safety briefing 08:30–12:00 Instruction and practice in hot forging (heating and hammering) 12:00–12:30 Lunch break 12:30–13:30 Continued forging operations 13:30–14:30 Blade and edge grinding, drilling, and triple normalization for stabilization 14:30–15:30 High-temperature quenching and low-temperature tempering 15:30–17:00 Edge sharpening and hand-sharpening instruction If both you and the instructor are available in the evening, you may continue to complete a wooden handle → Materials included; on-site add-on price NT$800 (original price NT$1,500) KYDEX or genuine leather sheath making → Materials included; on-site add-on price NT$800 (original price NT$1,500) ｜Event Information｜ • Fee includes: professional instructor, venue, equipment, knife blade, lunch, and insurance (NT$1,000,000 accident insurance + NT$100,000 medical coverage) • Meeting point: Shuimei Climbing Gym No. 53, Section 1, Minfu Road, Yangmei District, Taoyuan City • Transportation: By car – Exit at Yangmei Interchange and drive toward Fuguo for approximately 3–5 minutes.
