Bladesmithing is the art of making knives, swords, daggers and other blades using a forge, hammer, anvil and other smithing tools. At NORTH RIVER OUTDOORS, we carry custom and production knives from hundreds of brands and frequently get asked how to forge and make knives.
We wanted to teach you how to make your own knife. We are excited to offer this popular and very affordable Blacksmithing & Knife Making Class!
