What Our Clients Say About Us
I’m a former South African living in the Netherlands, and I just love knives — I collect them. I bought a kiridashi from Black Dragon Forge; now I just need to wait until I receive my parcel (it’s been delivered to my sister). Awesome service!
Really enjoyed the day at Black Dragon Forge and so happy with my knife. Learned all the basic skills to forge a knife with the assistance of the BDF team. I can highly recommend the experience and the team at Black Dragon Forge.
What an amazing experience. The blacksmiths were fantastic, always eager to help us out.
This was perfect for our DIY-loving Dads. The class was well organised, friendly environment and top tier equipment. Had enough assistants to help everyone. Had enough equipment for everyone. You will feel like you're on an episode of "Forged in Fire". 10/10
What an experience. Neels and Team, you know your shit and was always on hand to help. Thank you for my knife, I love it. Recommended to everyone.
