Maurice lynch reviewed: Basic blacksmithing course

"This was a Christmas present for my partner and he absolutely loved the course. In his words a proper manly gift, he found the instructors great, the whole black smithing process very educational and he came away with a knife that he made. He was very impressed."

Mike Greenfield reviewed: 2 day knife making course

"Great weekend on the 2 day knife making course. The guys where first class at showing and explaining everything. A good choice of blades that could be made and an easy going atmosphere throughout. I occasionally have issues with my hip and this weekend happened to be one. Gary was quick to adapt things so I could carry on with my knife and made it clear I was to take as long as was needed. Overall, an excellent experience which I purchased as a 21st birthday present for my God son to do with me, and I would highly recommend Friargate Forge."
