I am honored to have a hammer of mine in the hands of It was a gift from our friend Glad I got to meet Jason when he came out to Montana to hang with Will and JP. It has been fun to see my work get out there more and more into the hands of some awesome people. 🙏❤️

Had my buddy Jesse, The Butcher, over at the shop today to make his first hammer. We had some fun with it and made it asymmetrical. Ended up at around 5.5 lbs. For his first hammer, this is something to be proud of!

Super happy with how my first forged integrals turned out. Lots of work to do still, lots of grinding. There are also some photos of a custom 1 piece brand that I made for my old highschool chemistry teacher. Had to make it fancy because I dont get the opportunity to do much more decorative ironwork.

The latest Chef. This is an ultra light and thin damascus chefs knife. My first ever damascus. Approx 7 3/8inch blade. Has a golden ironwood handle and a thin copper bolster. Super light, well balanced. I hope to offer chef knives in the future, just want some more practice first. Now, onto production EDCs.

My first knife of 2022. 1080 and 15N20 san mai, ironwood handle. This was a big learning curve and challenge for me. Not everything is perfect, but I learned a lot. Hoping to try more chefs knives in the near future.
My 25lbs Little Giant is quite the machine. Her name is Dorothy, because she was picked up in Kansas. Excited to make lots of cool projects with her.

Now that its after Christmas, I can share some of the gifts I made for friends and family. 6 lbs cross peen sledge for my friend and blacksmith mentor. Leather wallets for friends and family, along with some BBQ tools.
Sped up video of hammer forging. The first heat of making a hammer is very busy. Lots of processes and little time. You need to be very precise with your hammer blows. Only 1 miss hit ruins a hammer.
