      Unique & Fun Experience

      Ashley_S, Sep 2026
      My husband and I had a great time making our knife and dagger. Jeremy was very knowledgeable and gave clear instructions. This unique experience was one of the highlights of our trip.

      Gift for my Hubby!

      Natalie_H, Sep 2026
      I booked this for my husband as a surprise experience! He really enjoyed it! He enjoyed talking to the owner and seeing the cats on site eas a plus!

      Sick knife experience!

      Brynn_F, Aug 2026
      Such a fun experience! Jeremy was so nice and helpful! He gave guidance and helped when needed, but let you have fun and make your knife how you want! His forge was set up so well so you have space to work without feeling too crowded or overwhelmed. Highly recommend for a fun day experience!

      Coolest experience ever!

      This was hands-down one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever done! Jeremy was a fantastic host and made the afternoon a lot of fun. He took time to explain each step, but then what made it so cool is that he turned things over to us to actually do it. I’ve never gotten to do something like this - it’s an incredible feeling to watch your knife taking shape as you go and knowing you’re making it! I HIGHLY recommend this experience for anyone who wants to try something different and come away with an incredibly memorable keepsake!

      Response from Host, Aug 2026

      Thank you so much! We hope you enjoy your keepsake!

      This was one of the most...

      Jamie_M, Aug 2026
      This was one of the most enjoyable activities I’ve done on vacation, so much so we bought an anvil and a forge for the house.

      Response from Host, Aug 2026

      Wow! Thank you for being our guest. We are so happy you enjoyed our workshop. Happy forging and keep up the good work!

      Family fun at the forge

      Alexi_V, Jul 2026
      This was such a fun activity, and unlike anything we've done before. I would absolutely recommend it. Be sure to stay hydrated in the forge; unsurprisingly, it's hot in there!

      Response from Host, Aug 2026

      We are so glad you came and endured the heat with us. Thanks for being awesome guests!

      Wonderful
