Chuck Cook was a finalist in the History Channels “Forged in Fire” – he did a great job of showing off his skills but more than that he showed what a great attitude he has! A great man to take a class from!
Chuck Cook started making knives in 2005. He is pretty handy with hammer and anvil but he specialize in knives and things that cut! He uses 1095, 1084, 5160 and a few other high carbon steels to make knives because this steel can be used to make hard use knives.
A minimum of a beginners blacksmithing workshop is required.
Make sure to wear closed toed shoes and dress in layers, as they the shop gets very warm. While the knife is cooling is a good time to run to Jac’s or bring your own lunch.
