   I visited Glittering Edge to take a weekend knife smithing course. Greg was a fantastic teacher, ensuring i was happy throughout with the steps I would be following to create my new knife. He has a lot of experience and is happy to be as hands on or off as you need and are comfortable with as you craft your own knife. I really enjoyed the experience and it was impressive to see some of the pieces Greg has completed and others that are underway. If you have ever fancied having a go at crafting your own knife I highly recommend doing so under the tutelage of Greg at glittering edge.

   What an amazing one of a kind experience. Booked a 2 day Sgian Dubh making session for my son and hubbies 30 & 60 birthdays. Greg is so knowledgeable about all things metal and crafting knives, swords and sgian dubhs, boys learned so much. They designed, crafted and forged their own sgian dubh. Cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Such precious memories. Thanks Greg for making this so special for them. X

   My partner and I spent a weekend with Greg for the Kitchen Knife course offered by Glittering Edge. We both walked away with aesthetically pleasing and functional knives. Greg was very patient, explained things thoroughly and when I found techniques tricky/needed support he was happy to either take a moment forging or watch and share advice. I always found his advice encouraging and never condescending, which sometimes professionals can be. Greg made sure the course was tailored to both our strengths and weaknesses. With a decade of experience, Greg brings all of his knowledge and customer care to the workshop, even going the extra mile for us in terms of finish and time. I would highly recommend this for friends, family, couples and individuals looking to make memories and test their skills in the forge.

   Greg took us on for a two person kitchen knife course over a full and action-packed weekend. He's a very knowledgeable and patient teacher who had a keen sense of when to offer additional advice or assistance. He was extremely flexible and went out of his way to ensure we left with blades we could be proud of (even as total first timers). I would recommend him highly as a teacher and craftsman and I hope to be back for another course in the future.

   As a fan of the 1981 film Excalibur I wanted a replica of the film sword and couldn't find any suitable products on the market. So my only option was to have one commissioned so I found The Knights Vault online and they introduced me to Greg Marr at Glittering Edge. Initially emailing the shop and then later on Greg himself communicating was a pleasure and I was kept updated with regular progress reports and Instagram posts. Even when delays were inevitable with a global pandemic shutting businesses down for months. The finished sword is a masterpiece and all I could have wished for. From the brass guard and pommel to the twisted wire grip and nickel plated ferrules this sword crafted by Greg is exquisite. The tapered blade shape even matches the film sword, many other replicas had a straight blade. The personalised note was a nice touch which I laminated and put in my display with the gift of a tub of maintenance wax. I would like to thank The Knights Vault in Edinburgh and Greg Marr at Glittering Edge for a pleasurable experience purchasing my first commissioned sword. They have my wholehearted recommendation. Thankyou Alan Pedder Excalibur Commission

   I ordered a custom made claymore. Greg has been highly professional and responsive during the whole process with continuous updates and explanations about the process. I am amazed with the final piece 100% recommend.
