Full Tang Blade Blacksmithing Experience for Teams

Teams collaborate to forge custom knives in this intensive two-day blacksmithing workshop, building camaraderie through hands-on metalworking. In this immersive bladesmithing experience, teams will work with 1084 steel to create functional small knives with full tang blades. Over two days (10am-5pm each day), participants will learn essential blacksmithing techniques including tapering, beveling, sanding, and sharpening under expert guidance. Each team member will forge their own blade, heat treat it, and assemble it with brass/copper pins and hardwood scales. The workshop takes place at Seaport Studios in Richmond, CA - an active working shop environment with various artisans. Participants will develop valuable technical skills in metalworking while strengthening teamwork through collaborative problem-solving. The challenging nature of bladesmithing requires communication, patience, and mutual support - qualities that translate directly to workplace dynamics. Teams will leave with not only handcrafted knives but also enhanced trust and cooperation skills. This workshop is ideal for corporate teams seeking a unique bonding experience that combines creativity with technical challenge. The shared accomplishment of creating functional blades fosters strong team connections. Note that previous blacksmithing experience is required, making this perfect for teams who've done introductory metalworking together. • Forge custom knives using professional blacksmithing techniques • Develop teamwork through collaborative metalworking challenges • Create lasting mementos that represent your team's accomplishment
