Hand-Forged in Vernal, Utah
Historical blades, forged by hand, grounded in evidence.
I make knives, seaxes, swords, and fittings drawn from Roman, Anglo-Scandinavian, Norse, and medieval traditions. Every piece starts with the archaeology: real finds, real measurements, real construction methods. Then it goes into the fire.
