MORE ABOUT OUR CLASSES

Lawless Forge brings people closer together through the most empowering, dynamic, and accessible experiences. 

It started one weekend with a few friends forging knives from railroad spikes, in what turned out to be the greatest bonding activity imaginable. Owner & Founder Max Levi was inspired to enable groups of absolute beginners — family, friends, and colleagues — to spend quality time together in ways that few have experienced before.

Our three-hour classes are perfect for ages 6+ and all levels of physical ability. No experience necessary. We can accommodate all in between whether it’s for a birthday party or a corporate team outing. Our 3 hour classes were designed with the beginner in mind. Do yourself a favor and come check out why Lawless Forge is a 5.0 Star Business.
