What Our Clients Say About Us
This was such an awesome experience to share with my dad. Everything runs like clockwork and there are such awesome, helpful, knowledgeable people helping and making the whole experience manageable for any skill level. I would highly recommend this if you want to see what is involved in making a forged knife, or anyone who is looking for something completely different for a fun activity to get them out the house. Thank you Neels and your team at Black Dragon Forge.
What an awesome experience to work with a master smith and experienced staff. There is so much more to it than you would think or see on television.
What a great experience on the one day knife making. The guys guiding us were very good. I would recommend this to anyone who has even the smallest bit of interest. I look forward to making knives in the future
