How to redeem your experience gift:
There are few things more satisfying than thrusting a lump of steel in to the flames and letting the sparks fly under your hammer. This unique Breakaway Experiences blacksmithing class is your opportunity to get your adrenaline pumping and create your own tanto style knife from scratch. The full tanto blade is hand forged and finished. You will hand forge the blade using traditional methods of forging and heat treating before you hit the grinders! You’ll complete your knife with hammered finished, hard wood scales and brass pins. This piece is great fun to build and a true collector’s piece. A tanto, "short sword", is a traditionally made Japanese sword, worn by the samurai class of feudal Japan. It was mainly used as a weapon but has evolved in design over the years to become more ornate. The modern tanto blade is an Americanized version that became popular in the 1980s on tactical knives.
