This course is for makers who have been making knives for at least 2 years.  If you would like to make the damascus then you will need a power hammer or a press.  Otherwise you can just skip the damascus making and treat this as a stock removal course.

Here is a list of the major tools I use in this course. If you don't have some of these tools you can still follow along with alternative tools. Alternative tools will almost always get the job done to the same degree of quality if you give yourself more time and care while using them.

1. Hydraulic forging press,
2. Forge capable of reaching forgewelding temps (2,200 to 2,300 Farenheit),
3. Welder,
4. Metal bandsaw,
5. Surface grinder,
6. Milling machine,
7. 2X72 Grinder,
8. Buffer,
9. Heat treating oven,
10. GRS Engraving microscope,
11. GRS High Speed rotary tool,
12. Height gauge and some kind of surface plate.

This is just an example of a couple alternative tools. I am not teaching with these alternatives but they will still get the job done.

Power hammer instead of press,
Chopsaw instead of metal bandsaw,
2X72 surface grinder attachment or disk sander instead of surface grinder,
Drill press instead of milling machine,
Forge instead of heat treating oven,
Optivisor instead of GRS microscope.
