    After watching Robby on Forged in Fire and being a big fan of him and the show, this was a must. Meeting Robby and experiencing the forging process first hand was amazing! My wife and I will definitely come back here every time we visit the Smokies! Thank you for giving us this opportunity! Looking forward to next time!

    This is an Absolute "MUST DO". I have watched people forge on TV, and always wanted to give it try. I loved it.

    Will was our blacksmith and coached us through the knife making process with expertise, grace, and enthusiasm. The two gentlemen who finished and polished our blades (Andrew and Chase) also took care to ensure we had useful and sharp knives! Our experience was great fun and made our family trip to Pigeon Forge a memorable one!!

Amazing I would give it 10 stars if I could! The staff here were all great to work with! We were able to pound out our own knives.. We had the pleasant surprise to meet Robby Bowman. He was willing to tell us great tips for forging and got to see his beautiful knifes he made.

Went there with my son and nephew. Once we all held and saw the railroad spike knife we had to have it not only did we all make one, but had a blast doing it! It was an amazing time, we plan on coming back to vacation again, here next year …More

We had a large group (11 of us) ranging from ages 7-50. None of us had ever done anything like it before and it was a HUGE hit with everyone! I have 6 kids (ages 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, & 16) and all of them said it was their favorite part of spring break!
