Our venture into the world of crafting began with a spark, ignited while watching "Forged in Fire" alongside my son. The art of forging, with its intense heat and the transformation of metal, captivated our hearts and hands, leading us down a path of discovery and creation. It was in the flames of the forge that a deep-seated passion for making knives was born—a craft that requires not only skill and precision but also an intimate understanding of the material at hand. As we delved deeper into the art, each piece we forged was more than just metal; it was a story of resilience, of fire and iron coming together in a dance of creation.

This journey, however, didn't stop at the forge. The knives we created, each with its own character and beauty, called for companions of equal stature—sheathes that would not only protect but also complement their design. This necessity introduced us to our second love: leather making. The transition from metal to leather was seamless, driven by the same passion and attention to detail that guided our initial forays into forging. Leather making allowed us to explore new textures, techniques, and possibilities, marrying the rugged elegance of metal with the soft, enduring appeal of leather. Together, these crafts embody our journey from watching a television show to becoming artisans in our own right, a testament to the power of passion and the endless possibilities it holds.
