Australian Blade Symposium 2017

We had an amazing time at the Australian Blade Symposium 2017 watching some of Australia’s very best knife makers and blade smiths as they share their secrets to manufacturing the perfect knife. Blades got forged and grounded and we learned the intricacies of the heat treat. We also learned to fit handles and new methods to finish blades.

The Blade Symposium consists of around 30, 1.5 hour sessions on a broad range of subjects and participants can view 8 of these over the weekend according to their specific interest. From beginner to advance there is something to see for everyone. Over 20 specialized demonstrators and held at the fantastic Eveleigh Locomotive Blacksmithing Workshops.

We are looking forward to another Blade Symposium in 2018.
