Central Ohio School of Metalwork

Tucked away in Franklinton, this specialized metalwork school is run by 'Forged in Fire' contestant Adlai Stein, offering couples the chance to play with fire, anvils, and heavy hammers.

The move: Sign up for their 4-hour 'Blacksmith Knife' workshop to forge a functional, one-piece integral knife from 1095 high-carbon steel, learning to draw out the handle and grind the blade.
