Best birthday present ever!
I got to take a knife making class with Jordan who is a Forged and Fire champion! He was super patient and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this class whether you're interested in blacksmithing or just looking for something fun and new to do. I was also surprised at how easy it was to mold the knife aka, you don't need to be jacked to do this.
Best way to wet your feet!
Did the horseshoe knife class. It was easy and fun and the best way to wet your feet in the black smith world.
An amazing experience!
Booked the horseshoe knife class for my son and two of his friends as a birthday present, and it was an amazing experience! All 3 boys are the same age (11) and began with an eagerness to learn and engage but apprehensive about the actual class and working with the hot tools/fire ect. Within a few minutes the boys seemed at ease, the instructor was engaging them and explaining things very well and helping them feel comfortable and confident! They ended the class eager and excited for more! We will definitely look forward to more classes!
