Participants will gain actual experience in the hammering process, and all participants will walk away from the Youth Hammer-In with something they created (a blade, a leaf, a nail, an S-hook, etc).
The Youth Hammer-in teaches work ethic and the importance of working with their hands. Participants will be trained on work safety and will be supervised by an American Bladesmith Society instructor at all times.
