Top notch!

Gabe is very good at making knives and he is great at communication too. If you have a question about a knife, or are working on a custom order, he makes sure you are happy. I will continue to do business with him in the future.

Amazing Experience

Went with a friend from work. Got to spend the morning in Gabe’s forge. We learned the basics of how to make a quality knife. He showed us his work and was hands on the whole time. Already looking into the 2 day class next. Will recommend as it’s a great experience with a Forged in Fire Champ.

Forge Your First Blade (3-Hour Intro Class)

Great Experience All Around!!!!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience forging our first blade with Gabe and his pups. Truly was an eventful day learning the ropes and seeing the crafting first hand! We learned lots and left with two uniquely forged, wicked sharp knives! Would totally recommend Gabe and this experience!

An unforgettable experience

Wow! This class blew me away. My husband and I came in not knowing what to expect. This guy is a true prodigy at what he does. His calm demeanor and patience made the experience absolutely amazing. He is a true master of his trade. We highly recommend taking this class. Once in a lifetime experience! I have the utmost respect for him and the work he does.

A Must-Try Class for Forged in Fire Fans

We had a great time at the forge class. Gabe is very knowledgeable and patient, and he made the whole experience approachable for beginners. He walked us through each step clearly and made sure we were comfortable working with the tools.
As a fan of Forged in Fire, it was especially fun to be instructed by someone who participated in the show. That made the experience even cooler, and it was great getting to learn real forging techniques from someone with that background.
It was really satisfying to leave with something we made ourselves. Highly recommend this class if you’re interested in trying blacksmithing or just want a unique hands-on experience.

I scheduled this class as birthday gift for my husband and we had an amazing time. The instructions were clear and I love the way my knife came out. I would definitely be back for the 2 day class !!!

2 Day knife making class

I took the class with my son and we loved it! The whole process was relaxed and casual but at the same time, we were learning so much. By the time the class was finished, we each had a beautiful knife. I highly recommend this class.

Amazing Experience! Perfect gift for my husband

I purchased a knife making class for my husband and I as a surprise christmas gift. We had a wonderful class and learned so much about knife making, metal, machinery, and more. I loved how each step of the process was explained and the thrill of trying something new. Gabe is a phenomenal teacher and was really encouraging. Highly recommend this class to anyone interested in knife making or wanting to try something new!

Tons of fun

Gabe is the man. Knows his stuff. My wife and I took the 3 hour class and felt like we learned so much in only just 3 hours. Gabe does a great job of letting you do your thing, while guiding you when you need a little assistance. We also loved his dogs - Diesel & Amber. To anyone looking to learn a bit about knifemaking, Gabe is your guy!

Incredible Experience All Around

This was my first time making a knife. Gabe was absolutely amazing in making sure he went over all the steps and taught me how to do it right. He was patient, understanding and most of all fun to be around. He would allow you to do as little or as much as you wanted during the process. The class is like having your friend teaching you something he loves to do. Though it's a two day class, it never felt long. He also made lunch for us both days and it was really good. This knife will be an heirloom to my kids. Recommend this class for anyone interested in knife making!
