Spend a full day at Thorn Wood Forge learning the foundations of traditional blacksmithing.
Guided by our team of professional blacksmiths, you will forge an all-steel knife from high-carbon steel. You will learn how to control the heat, shape the metal, heat-treat your pieces and grind your knife to a working edge.
These are ideal first forging projects, so no previous experience is required. You will leave with a working tool made by your own hands and the knowledge to use them on future adventures.
