    Default Bladesmiths in or around Lexington

    I have always wanted to learn how to forge. Has anyone learned the trade or know someone who “teaches”? I need a new hobby lol.

    I’ve always wanted to learn how to sell insurance or real estate…Perhaps you could point me to some YouTube shorts that make it easy.

    Honestly though such a thing exists, Moran is the name you seek.

    I thinkI almost bought a Bill Moran Filet knife from an estate sale one time. Kicked myself for not getting it.

    Give Jordan a call, he's top notch. I took a Damascus class from him and was very pleased.

    Ace Leather in Knife in St. Matthews teaches classes. I and my boys have done it. He's been on forged in fire and let's them use his shop for some episodes. About as solid of a good christian dude as they come.

    Shoot me a text if you want his number.

    It's too long of a video but this was the boys a few years ago.
