Certified by Iron Mountain Metal Craft • May 17, 2026
Metal Fabricator
Founded with the desire to preserve and pass on the knowledge, art, and skill of metal working, Iron Mountain is a metal workshop located in scenic Pigeon Forge. Operated by “Forged in Fire” fan favorite Robby Bowman, guests can try their hand at blacksmithing and iron forging.
Different from nearby tourist attractions, Iron Mountain offers a family entertainment experience that leaves visitors with a custom knife crafted under the careful supervision of an experienced blacksmith. With lessons on knife manufacturing, visitors can learn the forging process to create knives from nails, horseshoes, pony shoes, or railroad spikes. Appointments for lessons are required, and some have age requirements, so be sure to call the showroom to schedule your experience in advance.

Nice place to visit and watch the staff work on forging knives and metal. The items have good quality. Staff were respectful. Just be aware and respectful of their political position since they’re very open about it.

Our family had such an incredible time here on our trip to Pigeon Forge. This was all they could talk about for weeks, and it definitely lived up to the hype! Their team was so knowledgeable and patient with the kids, and everyone left with such a cool keepsake! Highly recommend booking here while on vacation as a family fun experience!

Certainly an experience you don’t want to miss out on! Our family had such a fantastic experience in the forge with all the friendly and kind staff. The knives make amazing souvenirs that will be useful tools for years to come. Much love to Robby Bowman and his incredible crew!❤️

We went to Iron Mountain Metal Craft on a recent vacation to the Pigeon
Forge area. I scheduled in advance for 3 people, myself, my teenage son and my tween daughter. Everyone was fantastic. The explanations and instructions were clear (although hard to hear, that forge is noisy!) We made our knives all at the same time and they turned out great. When we left the forge my son decided that he wanted to make another knife for his grandfather. When we went back, they were able to work us in for another knife within half an hour. We loved the experience and have an awesome keepsake that will last for years.
I would recommend booking in advance if possible only because I saw how busy they got while we were there.
