⚒️ Forge Your Own Blade: A Hands-On Blacksmithing Experience
Have you ever wanted to hold a knife and know you were the one who brought it to life from a raw piece of steel? Now is your chance.
Join instructor Jed Anderson for an intensive, hands-on day at the forge. This isn’t a "kit" class where you just slap a handle on a pre-cut blank. You will start with a raw chunk of steel and hammer out the blade yourself. Under Jed’s expert guidance, you will navigate the entire process—from forging and heat-treating to fitting the handle and crafting the sheath.
You’ll leave the workshop with a completely finished, professional-grade knife and the pride of knowing you made it from scratch.
