Wildriver Forge | Scottish Craftsmanship & Forge Experiences
Forged in Scotland. Built for life.
At Wildriver Forge, we believe the best things are made with your hands.
From our forge in Laurencekirk, Scotland, we bring together traditional blacksmithing, modern knife making and a genuine passion for craftsmanship to create things that are made to be used, enjoyed and remembered.
Whether you're stepping into the forge for one of our blacksmithing experience days, learning the craft through a knife-making course, choosing a handcrafted hunting knife, or commissioning something made specifically for you, everything we do is rooted in the same principles: good materials, thoughtful design and taking the time to do things properly.
Our experience days give you the opportunity to leave the outside world behind, get your hands on the tools and learn the satisfaction of making something yourself. Our knives and bespoke work carry that same philosophy into the field, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern performance.
From the first strike of the hammer to the final finish, we believe the details matter.
Wildriver Forge — traditional craftsmanship, Scottish character and experiences worth remembering.
