American Bladesmith Society Youth Hammerin this weekend


Recommended Posts

The ABS holds youth hammerins open to kids every year at the riverside meadow below Smokey Mountain Knife Works. Kids from 8 to 18 learn to forge blades and the basics of grinding and assembly and finish work. Blade smiths from all over come and volunteer their time to teach this ancient art.

If you get the chance Fri/Sat/Sun take the kids up to SMKW and come down to the tent in the meadow by the bridge and watch what a couple of days with a talented blade smith can do for a kid who doesn't want to spend all their time on a video game.

I met a young lady at the Busse booth at Blade who was showing off her knife made at this event. It was VERY nice work and she was rightly very proud.

The knife industry's legacy continues with yet another young person not running around with their pants down around their knees, not on dope, and doing something productive! Outstanding work to everyone that puts this together! :screwy:

The youth hammerin went well and a dozen kids completed knives to take home.

Some hammered out 2, 3 or even 4!

If you're looking for something to get your kid off the couch this is a great opportunity.
