Highlights
- Zimmer Road - You will be using a coal-fired forge, treadle hammer, tongs, cross peen hammer, and anvil, along with a 2”X72” belt grinder. We will be hand-forging a railroad spike into a beautiful and functional knife. We will start by firing the coal forge and drawing out the handle with the treadle hammer. We will twist the handle and start drawing out the blade. Once we have a handle and blade formed we will “quench” the blade to harden it. We will use the grinder to put an edge on your finished Railroad Spike Knife.
