Entry No. 12 — the Salt Lake City file — filed under: blacksmithing

Wasatch Forge

A 1,440-square-foot working smithy with two forges, a hydraulic press and a power hammer, run by owner Matt Danielson — whose beginner track literally includes a class named 'Hot Date,' a no-experience-needed 3-hour session built around forging a knife side by side.

The move: Book the 3-hour beginner 'Hot Date' class together — no prior experience required — and each walk out having hand-forged your own knife on a real power hammer.
