The instructor was knowledable, patient, and made the entire experience so much for for both of us. We left feeling like total badasses, and have the knifes to prove it. Thank you for a wonderful evening out.

• 5/5 from Vanessa Halacsy, attended Mar 2025: I bought this class for my son - he loved it. The instructor was great with directing the group or individually. My son was also impressed by the variety of students - old people, young people, singles, couples, people of all genders and backgrounds and presentations - it definitely was not like some knife/metal/wood/survival classes that seem to have a very specific sort of student.
• 5/5 from Anonymized ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: I brought my husband here for his birthday to make a survival knife. I did the buddy up option since he would be the one mostly working on it and it was great. Honestly, the best time ever. He enjoyed the entire process and we may even go back to create more items! Our instructor was pretty cool and really sweet, made sure we were getting our desired shape of the knife. Our end result looked amazing! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for unique gift ideas or date nights!
• 5/5 from Caroline Li, attended Sep 2024: I booked this class for my boyfriend and me for his birthday and it was wonderful! The instructors were friendly, knowledgeable, and organized. We went in with no metalworking experience and came out with a pretty cool knife. Highly recommend for a date night!
• 5/5 from Mehmet Yar, attended Sep 2024: My wife purchased a buddy and me knife smithing class. Our instructors Jacob and Paul were great. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They helped us learn how to shape metal and sharpen it. It was a ton of fun. The rest of class was engaged and had a great time.

• 5/5 from Vivian Chiang, attended Feb 2024: We came for a coupled date night and enjoyed the class very much. My husband loves Forge ih Fire and this class has all the knife making steps he saw on the show. It's suitable for someone like me that is not crafty at all!
• 5/5 from Kevin McDermott, attended Jan 2024: Gerrard was amazing He is such a genuine person and really made the experience that much better
• 5/5 from Nicole Block, attended Nov 2023: Our teacher was fantastic. Chill, experienced, and happy to watch everyone create. Such a fun night. Thank you so much for a great first experience!
• 5/5 from Sen Zhang, attended Nov 2023: I love the workshop environment. The instructor was super encouraging and skillful. I would love to come back for a kitchen knife class.
• 5/5 from Alden Hoyt, attended Aug 2023: This class was a blast wow we really did it! Our teacher Gerard was helpful and informative with his instructions, but gave us space to create. A fun couples experience
• 5/5 from Justine Raymond, attended Aug 2023: This class was incredible! I bought the class as a surprise gift for my partner and we each made one knife each. Our instructor Arlene was so helpful, funny, inspiring, and had a great taste in music. The effort was somehow both easier and harder than expected (my arms are spaghetti), but the teacher was available to help if you were struggling. To be able to leave with a handmade knife was amazing! It inspired me to try other classes there, and I couldn't recommend it enough!
• 5/5 from Jeff Romley, attended Jul 2023: You guys rock! Thanks for a great evening. I loved learning how to make a knife with your graceful patience.
• 5/5 from Pj Linen, attended Jul 2023: We had a great time in our class, it was a perfect birthday present for my boyfriend. He felt like he was on the show Forged in Fire and had a great time. It was a great beginner class, we could do things ourselves but always had our teacher right there to answer any questions or guide us in the right direction. We’ve already talked about doing a next level class!
• 5/5 from Jack Briggs, attended Jun 2023: Great class - a great teacher. - space well set up - easy to get to. Thanks enjoyed
• 5/5 from Michael Figueroa, attended Apr 2023: Knew it was gonna be an awesome time when the MCR broke out lol. But the teacher was funny and phenomenal at making everything easy to understand and very encouraging.
• 5/5 from Mark Bemish, attended Apr 2023: Both instructors were incredible. The attention to detail and the support they gave the class the whole time made this class hands down one of my favorite. Just go in being ready to sweat, hydrate, and sweat some more.
• 5/5 from Carson Elrod, attended Apr 2023: This is a GREAT time. I was given this class as a Christmas present and it's one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. The class size is small. My teacher was Gerard, and he was warm, nurturing, enthusiastic, encouraging, skilled, and patient. This is a no-nonsense class where you really learn by doing. There's a quick hello and then you're geared up and pounding on molten pieces of rebar like you're a Viking blacksmith forging a sword. After hammering, shaping, quenching, grinding, and weaving, four hours later you leave the workshop with a knife that YOU made. The vibe is fun. Nice rock n' roll is played while you hammer and grind away. It's great. Highly recommend.
• 5/5 from Susan Alter, attended Jan 2023: The class was such a great time The teachers - Arlene and Gerard were very nice, fun, patient and taught us perfectly how to make a knife. The tools and process were cool. What a great experience and highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Nick Blay, attended Nov 2022: Great people!went above and beyond, highly recommend to anyone considering doing something with their lives
• 5/5 from Nivida Thomas, attended Mar 2022: Attentive, engaging, and super fun! The team at Craftsman Ave made us feel welcome and taught us how to make our very cool knives with a patient hand. Can’t recommend enough!
