Prerequisite: None

Learn the basics of knife making by forging your own knife out of a railroad spike in this focused, five-hour class. These knives are a great conversation piece and not something you're going to find in a store.

Enrollment limited, so sign up early as space in this special one-day class will go fast.

Taught in our Village Smithy, with a 30-minute break for lunch. Materials provided.

Students should wear a cotton or other natural-fiber shirt (long sleeves optional), long pants or jeans, and work boots or close-toed shoes. Bring a bottle of water and a sack lunch. A 30-minute lunch break will be given. Gourmet sandwiches, chips and drinks are available for purchase in the General Store.

Class is designed for students ages 18 and older. Students aged 15-17 years old may enroll so long as a parent or legal guardian signs the attendance release form at the beginning of the class. Youths ages 12-14 may enroll if a parent or legal guardian enrolls in and takes the class with the younger student. No exceptions.

Enrollment must be completed at least one week before class date. All enrollments are subject to availability.

Important notice: No refunds are allowed once the enrollment fee is received. Students who cannot attend a class for whatever reason may reschedule once, on a space-available basis.
