Hand Forged Sportsman And Chef Knives

There is a method of making knives called "Stock removal" which means grinding the knife to shape from flat stock bought at a thickness already known. A pattern is drawn on the steel then cut and ground to shape. While there is nothing wrong with that method, that is not how I make knives.

My knives are hand forged one at a time here in my Vermont blacksmith shop. Each one starts as a larger thicker piece of high carbon steel, usually 5160 and 1095. Which I then heat in my forge and hammer down to the thickness I need. This process makes for a much more dense grain structure in the steel. Although more time consuming, I believe this makes for a better stronger steel and ultimately a much tougher knife that holds an incredibly sharp edge, and keeps it.

Forging marks are left to a degree, on the blade to show these are really hand forged and not just made to look like it.

All my knives have a lifetime guarantee as well. If there is ever a problem, when used for their intended purpose, I will repair or replace your knife for free.

Each knife can be customized in different lengths and handle woods. Please call or email for any questions.

Thank you,
