Brett Osborne reviewed: Introduction to knife making at Bearded Pig Forge

"What an excellent day! Get yourself behind a hammer, in a very hot room full of sparks flying around,... and make yourself a Viking knife! Spike is a very helpful & knowledgeable instructor. He was on hand all day for tutoring, safety and advice on fixing mistakes when we didn't listen! Thanks for a great day Spike. "

"If you're looking for something a bit different and like to take something away at the end of the course, then this is going to be right up your street. Me and my husband went along to this, as we wanted something we could both get enthusiastic about, and basket weaving wasn't going to tick that box. Also bear in mind I'm 5 foot 2, and don't really have a lot in the way of muscles, but even I was able to do this. I did need some help with the hammering as I didn't quite have the clout at times, but Spike was able to help when I needed it, and I was never made to feel that it was too much trouble. And talking of Spike, he is an amazingly patient instructor, he talks you through it all at a pace that works, and then is on hand if things go a bit off -track. Nothing is too much trouble and he is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. Well worth a go if you fancy something that's fun with a bit of danger. "
