Nail Knife Lesson
If you have young children, then consider signing them up for the nail knife lesson. Designed for those who are 12 years old and younger, the lesson includes a nail, sheath, and the necessary instruction. For only $15, this is one experience you can't pass up!
Pony Shoe Lesson
Available for everyone 13 and up, this is your chance to forge a knife out of a pony shoe and take it home. The lesson includes equipment, personalized instruction, and of course, the pony shoe. This lesson costs $30 and is a favorite among visitors.
Horseshoe Knife Lesson
If a pony shoe seems like too small of a knife, then you'll want to upgrade to the full horseshoe knife. Similar to the previous lesson, this one offers a full-size horseshoe instead of the smaller pony shoe. However, this lesson costs $50 due to the larger horseshoe size.
Railroad Spike Knife Lesson
This lesson is the most popular one in the iron mountain forge. For $85, you'll forge a knife out of a railroad spike under personal instruction with all equipment and safety items provided.
All lessons last for 45 minutes to an hour maximum. Also, all required equipment and safety items are provided. The team requests you arrive 15 minutes early to submit payment and get your gear on before the lesson begins.
In addition to the standard knifemaking lessons that are regularly available, there is another option that's only available in January and February.
