Integral Hatchet (23FL)

Each student will forge integral camp-size hatchets by forge welding three pieces of steel into one and forging out the blade and handle. We will paracord, wood, or micarta to the handles.

This class is taught by Andrew Takach. On the popular TV show, Forged in Fire (season 4, episode 13), Andrew competed and ultimately won with his Shamshir sword. Several photos of his work have been published in books and magazines, including Knives Annual, Knife World, and Blade magazine.
