Neil reviewed: Axe Making Weekend

"Absolutely loved this weekend for my dad's birthday, we both had a great time and Graham & family were entertaining, knowledgeable and very helpful! The axes came out looking absolutely stunning and they're both very practical and sharp, cannot recommend this course enough. "

Leonard reviewed: Bladesmithing Experience Day

"Good fun day at the forge beating a length of iron into something that looks like a knife and then finishing it through the different phases of shaping, hardening, tempering and grinding then the final normalisation and polishing with an edge that can cut the hair on your arm. The sessions were well guided and the instructors were knowledgeable and could talk passionately about the subject. I would recommend this course."

Clarke Knives responded:

"Hi Leonard, Great that you enjoyed your experience with us and sorry I couldn't be there on Saturday to meet you. Regards, Graham Clarke"

Peter Griffiths reviewed: Bladesmithing Experience Day

"A great day beating the hell out of a lump of steel which at one stage was bent like a banana and ended up as a straight, shiny, sharp blade. We were expertly guided by Declan and David who made the day most enjoyable."

Clarke Knives responded:

"Hi Peter, So glad you had a great time and sorry I couldn't be there to meet you. Regards, Graham Clarke"

Em reviewed: Bladesmithing Experience Day

"Mum and Daughter birthday treat. What a great way to spend an autumnal day. Experiencing new skill, meeting new people. Building confidence. The course was fun and really well taught. Forging and making knives... Something way out of our experiences, things you would only see on TV, made real. I recommend this to everyone. Thank you David & Decklan for a brilliant day."
