This business accommodated our party of eight on a busy holiday with a smile and customer friendly attitude. They are patient in teaching knife making and forging. We all came away with a high quality souvenir knife at a very fair price. And surprise, no up charge for a sturdy leather sheath. Highly recommend this business! read more

I cannot say enough about this wonderful experience! My husband and our two oldest boys(7 and 5) all 3 made knives, and all enjoyed the experience! The guys working the forge and instructing were so great at working and interacting with the boys! They were also accommodating to make sure that my husband and sons could forge knives together. My 10 month old also got attention from the workers, which he loved. You can tell this is a family business that values family experiences! We will definitely be back! read more

Circle Bar T Forge & Bladeworks - My husband with his rebar knife and two sons with their pony shoe knives. - Knife Sharpening Near Me

Went to the Circle BarT Forge today with a friend while we were in the area. We picked out the style and type of knife we wished to make, we were given a heavy leather Apron and safety glasses. Instructed how and when to strike the iron and the master forger heated the metal it was a fun experience and I enjoyed the opportunity. I would caution anyone who wanted to do this to wear genes and close toed shoes , keep hold of young children and be prepared to swing a 3 pound hammer until you are told to stop!! Great fun. If in Pigeon Forge Tennessee give it a try read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Customer service is WONDERFUL. We had an appointment set and I called the morning of to try and reschedule(my husband had something come up at work and we knew we wouldn't make it) they were great at looking through the schedule and getting us in a couple hours later. We got there, he picked his material to forge his knife and we waited just a few minutes for another group to finish up then he got started. They really make sure you enjoy your knife making experience and their prices are the best in the area! We are local and are already planning to bring our daughter back to make her own knife. read more

Got a burn that immediately blistered. It was from a knife they were trying to hand my 12 year old son.

This is a great place to make a memory with a little one. They are very friendly and treated us really good. Our 5yr old made a knife and they showed patience and made him feel involved. read more

My husband and I loved our knife-making experience! We recommend to anyone and everyone. He did the railroad spike knife and I made a horseshoe knife. We learned a lot about forging, and it was cool to be able to beat the metal ourselves. Tom was very knowledgeable and made it fun. They were very kid-friendly and put safety measures into place. You even get a handmade leather sheath for your knife! The leather shop down the street makes them. My husband really wants to go back to do the dream knife class for a day. read more

We went to iron mountain forge first but they were over booked (I didn't know u had to make an appointment) I asked if there was another place to make knives and she said the other place was as all the way in Sevierville but booked. Well luckily my nephew spotted you guys not even 1 minute down the road. I called in and you guys took us immediately. We were so lucky because we're only here for the weekend and didn't want to miss the chance. CIRCLE BAR T FORGE IS AWESOME! The guys had a blast I got some memorable photos and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Glad we found you guys and will definitely be coming here every time we visit Pigeon Forge with family. They guys love their knives! Prices we're great, good atmosphere. read more
