It all began by watching “Forged In Fire”

All of this started the beginning of 2023 when I was looking for a hobby. I had watched “Forged in Fire” like many others which is where I got the itch for blacksmithing and bladesmithing. So I took a local one day blacksmithing class, you can see my very first knife I made in the class which are the top two pictures.

After the class, it was off to the races for me! I started out with the basics for blacksmithing and bladesmithing as you see in the picture in the center to the left. However, it has grown quite a bit since to include a 10’ x 16’ shed to work out of! lol

As the knives started to stack up, I figured why not sell them to help recoup some of the startup cost as well as continue to fund my new hobby. I then came up with my brand or “maker’s mark” but needed a way to put it on my knives.

The laser engraving seemed a cool way to do that, so I purchased one. Then I figured I might as well do something else with it rather than only put my mark on my knives. So there the laser engraving side of the business came to fruition.

I never really have been in touch with any artistic side throughout most of my life. But I am happy to say that I am starting to find it with all the blacksmithing\bladesmithing and laser engraving that I have been doing!
