Demo – Tucson – Rich Greenwood

Demonstrator: Rich Greenwood
Rich was on the series premier of History Channel’s “Forged in Fire”.
He was also on the most recent season’s episode for fan favorites. Rich  will be demonstrating a “San Mai” style kitchen knife. San Mai is taking  two, or sometimes more pieces, of steel and forge welding them together.    Usually a harder steel is used as an inner core with a soft outer jacket  to make a knife blade. Rich will explain the whole process and reasons  for doing this, and then he will demonstrate it. You won’t want to miss this!
