"This place was awesome! I took my dad here for a Christmas present to do the workshop on making a knife. It's an awesome facility with an Anvil for everyone and everyone with their own tools and materials. The class format was super clear with good demonstrations, it was easy to follow along and make a good knife. Zander was our instructor for this session and he was awesome . He was very friendly and was organized and demonstrated and spoke very clearly. I would absolutely go again, it was a lot of fun!" Brian P.

"We had a fantastic experience making Damascus steel rings at Lawless Forge. Zander is an engaging teacher who balances a good mix of humor, encouragement, and clear instruction. The class format manages to be very hands-on without feeling overwhelming or rushed. We walked away feeling very accomplished and wearing some pretty awesome looking pieces of jewelry. Highly recommend!" Reina. V

"Thank you for an incredible experience! My husband and I enjoyed the horseshoe knife class. We came with zero experience. Josh led us through the process making it effortless to create our very own knives! We are already planning another trip to bring back friends and family. Josh was a great instructor, very helpful and patient." Erin R.
