Dark Star Blades - Messer Schmiedekurs

Under my guidance, you will design, forge, and sharpen a medium-sized kitchen knife, hunting knife, fillet knife, Bowie knife, dagger, or similar blade. Larger knives are available upon request.

We use high-quality tool steel, either 1.2842 or 1.2235, and offer over 30 different types of wood for the handle.

For an additional fee, you can also choose to work with my hand-forged Damascus steel. This is typically made from a combination of 1.2842 and 75Ni8 steel, resulting in a Damascus pattern with 120-150 layers.

I will provide all necessary safety equipment (safety glasses, ear protection, gloves, respirator), so participants only need to bring comfortable, work-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes.

Drinks (mineral water and juice) will be provided.

On the second day, a light snack (a meatloaf sandwich) and beer or soft drinks will also be available.

The location is easily accessible by train and several bus lines. There is also affordable parking available just 150 meters away.

Price: €499 per person, including materials (steel, wood, and meals as described above)

+ €150 for Damascus steel.

Anyone who has completed one of my knife-making workshops can rent workshop space by the hour or book more advanced courses (such as Damascus steel forging or sword forging).
