Forge Your Own Viking Knife on a Bladesmithing Experience in Essex! Heat, hammer, and shape your own Viking-style knife at the Farm Forge in Heybridge, near Maldon! This hands-on experience lets you step into the world of traditional blacksmithing, working with skilled blacksmiths to craft a unique all-metal knife inspired by first-century Danish designs, just like the fearsome Vikings used. Using a coal-fired forge and classic smithing tools, you’ll heat and shape knife steel, learning the age-old techniques of tempering and crafting a functional or decorative blade. Whether you choose to sharpen it for cooking and bushcraft or leave it as a stunning display piece, the choice is yours. Throughout the day, you’ll work the glowing steel on the anvil, discovering the secrets of metalworking and even creating a stylish handle for your handcrafted blade. Set in the scenic countryside near the River Blackwater, this full-day introductory course is the perfect way to unleash your inner Viking, master the forge, and proudly create your very first knife. So roll up your sleeves and get ready to strike while the iron’s hot!
