STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:The Kiridashi is the original Japanese utility knife. A smaller
  chisel pointed version was traditionally carried in the sleeve pocket of 
 one's kimono by both Samurai and peasant alike. The Kiridashi is now used 
 by practically everyone in Japan from children to master craftsmen. In man
 y ways it's the fixed blade equivalent of the western pocket knife. \nWe w
 ill be using this class to explore some advanced design elements.\nOur bla
 des will be sawn from prefolded damascus billets and beveled with a single
  razor edge and then heat treated in the forge. \nWe will be using colorfu
 l synthetic materials for our handles with a selection of G10 and resin av
 ailable to choose from. We will also be incorporating optional decorative 
 mosaic pins\, exposed tang pommels and paracord lanyards. \nThis is an ent
 ire weekend of knifemaking from noon on Saturday to approximately 4:30 and
  Sunday from noon until your blade is complete. \nWear blacksmithing appro
 priate attire and feel free to bring drinks or snacks or take advantage of
  the vending machines here at the workshop. \nAges 18 to 118\nCost: $225
