  • Premium Materials
  • High quality high carbon steel
  • Totally customisable experience. You can make any style of knife you like.

This experience is perfect for anyone who would like to try their hand at Blacksmithing and Bladesmithing. You will learn the traditional techniques passed down through the ages for forging knives and many other edged tools, including forging, grinding, and heat treating to produce a blade that will stay sharp in use. You will finish the day by fitting a handle to your blade so you take home a fully finished and useable knife.

This one-day course is for one or two people to forge a single blade. If you'd like to attend as a pair and forge a blade each, two tickets will be required.

There is enough time to forge a blade with a maximum length of 6 inches. A kitchen knife is recommended and usually the most useful option for most people, as you can use it every day! Alternatively, you are welcome to bring with you ideas for the style of knife you'd like to make, including:

  • Kitchen knife
  • Hunting knife
  • Bush craft knife
  • Re-enactment knife
  • Fishing knife
  • Woodwork tool

... or anything else your imagination can conjure!

The Kerr Forge Blacksmith, Jon, will be alongside to help and advise at every step to ensure you take home a knife you are proud to use for a lifetime.

Cancellation and a full refund can be obtained up to 2 weeks before the course starts. Start dates may be amended on request.
