From the anvil
Forged one piece at a time.
Every commission begins with a conversation - about the hand that will hold it, the work it must do, and the decades it will see. We forge from high-quality steels, fit handles in stabilised burl, antler, and bog oak, and sign every piece against the owner.
Blades, axes, gates, railings, ceremonial pieces, and restorations - every commission leaves the shop as a working object, built to be used, sharpened, and handed down.
