Since 2004
Twenty years at the anvil.
Kitchen
Built for the cutting board.

Made to order
Commission a knife.
A hunting knife, a chef's knife, a folder that doesn't exist yet. Tell Tom what you need and he'll forge it.
The Jaeger Scout, the Big Folder and the stainless Damascus kitchen knives all started this way.
Past work
Already found their owners.
Proof of craft. Like one? Tom can forge yours.
