Northstar Forge

Founded by ABS Journeyman Smith Jason Kraus, who competed on History Channel's 'Forged in Fire,' this premier forge teaches the ancient trades of blacksmithing and bladesmithing. The shop is located in historic downtown Carver, just southwest of the Twin Cities.

The move: Book their 'Railroad Spike Knife Class' or 'Intro to Blacksmithing' to heat steel in a roaring forge and use a power hammer, press, and hand hammer to shape your own custom blades and metal wall hooks.
