An awesome, poductove and memorable experience
Attended the survival knife making class. I was not sure what to expect but this place exceeded every expectation I had. The studio was very neat & well-organized, all the equipment in good order and all of it in a very relaxed atmosphere. There are even some places to grab a snack or a drink nearby. But the best of all was our instructor, Shiloh. She knew a great deal about knife smithing and was excellent at sharing it with us. Last, this sees like I would be a great date place as well as a great parent/kid experience. I cannot say enough good things.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We're thrilled the survival knife workshop exceeded your expectations. Shilo is a fantastic guide and her knowledge of knife smithing combined with her teaching style is something we're really proud of. We're glad the shop's organization and relaxed atmosphere stood out, along with the convenient nearby spots for a snack or drink. We love that you see it as both a great date idea and a fun family activity — we'd love to welcome you back to Craftsman Ave for either!

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Forge a Survival Knife: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Brooklyn.
How much does Forge a Survival Knife cost?
+
Prices start at $275 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Brooklyn usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Forge a Survival Knife take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Brooklyn is not rushed.
Is Forge a Survival Knife worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Brooklyn, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Forge a Survival Knife?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Forge a Survival Knife suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Forge a Survival Knife?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Brooklyn can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Brooklyn and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Forge a Survival Knife start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Brooklyn within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Brooklyn?
+
On Outty we rank every Brooklyn experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Brooklyn Bridge & DUMBO Food Tour: Local Eats & Iconic Views, The Escape Game Brooklyn: Epic 60-Minute Adventures in City Point, Bushwick Street Art Tour and Williamsburg Lifestyle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Brooklyn?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Brooklyn?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
