Hand Forged Knives & Tools

Generations of Exceptional
Craftsmanship

 
 

So too is the smith, sitting by the anvil, intent on his iron-work; the breath of the fire
melts his flesh, and he struggles with the heat of the furnace; the sound of the hammer deafens his ears, and his eyes are on the pattern of the object. He sets his heart on finishing his handiwork, and he is careful to complete its decoration. All these [workers] rely on their hands, and all are skillful in their own work. Without them no city can be inhabited, and wherever they live, they will not go hungry . . . they cannot expound discipline or judgment, and they are not found among the rulers. But they maintain the fabric of the world, and their concern is for the exercise of their trade.
—- Sirach 38:28, 31-34

 

What People Are Saying

“Forge of Saints is definitely on point. This hand forged 5160 steel hatchet is the best I've ever held. The perfect weight and balance, and, in my opinion...the best grunt axe steel, in 5160. The geometry is excellent for hatchet work and the sheath is one of the best I've ever had. Additionally, don't blink unless you are ready to receive your purchase, because it will come that fast. Thanks again Forge of Saints and until next time!”

“Blacksmith Q took my simple request of "I think I want a Viking Axe, like something Ragnar Lothbrock would carry" and made it into a reality. I could not be happier with the finished product, a true hand-forged beauty that will long protect my fortress from invading Saxons... Quality, hand-made products that demonstrate his ability as a craftsman. Thanks again, Q.”

“Amazing. Great whittling axe with sheath custom made to my specifications with input from this expert. Made for utility. Also, commissioned an 11inch full tang stainless steel filet knife that has a walnut handle. This is real beautiful work for these utility tools. I was provided updates and asked for my opinions the entire process. if you want something done by this pro. Just ask. He will get back quickly. You will not be disappointed. Both exceeded my expectations. I will be a repeat customer, again and again. I just have to think of more products. Forged by hand by an American Blacksmith.”

Traditional Knife Making Techniques

Forge of Saints specializes in traditional hand-forged knife making in Pennsylvania. We forge our blades using traditional blacksmithing and bladesmithing techniques, including working hot steel with a forge, hammer, and anvil, while incorporating modern steels and proven heat-treatment methods. Each knife is made individually or in small batches using materials such as locally sourced wood, antler, Micarta, G10, and other selected handle materials. If you want an American-made forged knife built for your specific needs, contact Forge of Saints to discuss your design, materials, intended use, and custom build.
