Dagger-Making Course Coming Soon to The James Black School
It's happened again, the new season of the TV show "Forged In Fire" has started up, and it's on my DVR right now. I haven't watched it yet, but I'm excited to see what the guys and gals will be forging, hammering, and grinding into blades this season.
I know what you're thinking, Jim probably sits there eating Cheetos, drinking a beer, and grunting through the whole show... and that's partially true, I'm not much of a beer drinker, but you just might find some orange powder under my fingernails.
If the thought of hammering red-hot steel into blades is something you have always wanted to try, here's an idea, the James Black School of Bladesmithing and Historic Trades will hold two dagger-making courses on November 11 through 15 and November 18 through 20 from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
These courses are designed to help the students (you) learn to create a dagger or small sword. The first course will consist of making the blade, and the second will teach you to make the handle.
The course fee is $525 per course, and you will have the privilege of learning from world-renowned bladesmith instructor J.R. Cook.
If you're ready to sign up right now, go here.

If you read this far and you're not really into bladesmithing... thank you!
