The Forge.
"I love working with my hands." -Ian Bailey
Aside from my daily trade as a shielder I started out as a home hobbyist doing metal work. As the time passed I found myself loving the metal arts more and more. I have now converted 60% of my shop over to bladesmithing tools and materials. From the forge, anvil, hammers, belt grinders, vice, drill press and a growing assortment of hand made tools the shop is now a living, breathing forge. Thanks to the teachings of a bladesmith in Pennsylvania and the growing tradesmen we meet every year this forge is getting hotter.

Big Mike and myself man the work shop on random days working the metal and building our hand craft arts. We work complementary to each other and both share a majority of the same interests in this knife making adventure. Mike has been a great addition and his skills are growing at an accelerated rate.
Another guy growing behind the scenes is my man Ash that will be working the design end in photography and web. A long time friend and design associate, he has set the bar to new heights of excellence in his field.
We also have ventured into working leather for sheaths and other items of interest. Now teamed up with William Wright of Amish Leather from Pennsylvania we are able to offer a high quality handmade leather product on request.
