THIS IS THE ONLY CLASS IN FLORIDA WHERE YOU ACTUALLY FINISH YOUR KNIFE! Classes are available 7 days a week 10am-6pm. Before you book with a maker ask to see their gallery of work, lots of frauds out there unfortunately. The Make Your Own Knife Class is a single 8 hour class that covers the fundamental techniques of bladesmithing and forging steel. The student WILL go home with a FULLY finished useable knife, NO HANDLE WORK TO DO LATER. Learn from a full time Professional Bladesmith whose 1 of 1 designs are valued by international collectors and renowned Chefs, not from some guy in a garage with and anvil and angle grinder... In the first hour we will practice forging different shapes and moving metal around until you get comfortable, develop a rhythm, and learn to correct your mistakes. Now you’re ready to forge your own knife. In the knife making class we will forge a camp, bush craft, hunting, fighting or kitchen knife of your own design or from traditional profiles such as a French blade, Gyuto, or Kiritsuke. Mirroring me, you will forge your own knife from traditional Japanese High Carbon Steel from start to finish with as little or as much help from me as you want. In my class you have access to all the "toys" you see on Forged in Fire, I own a big power hammer and hydraulic press for you to use during forging. After forging, you will select a piece of handle material from my collection of dyed and stabilized burlwood and exotic hardwood then we will fit the handle. In this class, we will learn to forge a knife, normalize steel, how to heat treat in a forge, quench in oil, how to fit, shape a handle, grind, sharpen, and polish a knife. Materials, safety equipment, food, and beverages provided. Lunch is a 24oz Ribeye with Truffle Fries, Candied Carrot and a to go box. Classes are available 7 days a week, but weekends book quickly. I'm a former chef turned Bladesmith and I have combined my unique set of skills and have created the perfect gift and extraordinary experience for couples, parents, and their children.

I bought our family this unique experience for a Christmas present. I really didn't know what to expect and as the time approached, I had a little anxiety because we have a 5 and an 8 year old. When the six of us arrived, Jordan welcomed us with grins and kindness. He could tell I was a little apprehensive and assured me that he works with children organizations a lot and not to be concerned. I'm not sure what will be the most memorable about our day but I can share a few highlights. I was astonished how Jordan could keep us all moving forward on our life project while in the background preparing and cooking fabulous meal. We've eaten at some prestigious restaurants but we've never had a better meal than hat we ate today. The fact that our young grandchildren could be relaxed in this environment meant so much to the and all of us because it's an experience they will never forget. And the next thing I would say, Jordan helped everyone in the room achieve their vision of the knife they wanted. Not one person left that facility without a smile on their face - from the five year old to the 84 year old. GREAT day, GREAT place, and GREAT guy!!!!!!
