The new forge is finally finished. It took more than a month to get the new shop completed and up and running. During that time I didn't get much knife work done, but I am working on several pieces now and should be posting some new knives over the next few weeks. The new shop should allow me to more work done and hopefully, with a quicker turn-around time. I invite you to take a virtual tour of the shop. Just click on the link below.

NEW - Pipe Tomahawk
Hand Forged Pipe Tomahawk Head forged from a rifle barrel with hardened steel bit welded in for the cutting edge. This hawk features extensive file work, an exceptional curly maple handle, and pewter bands and mouthpiece. Carved antler plug caps off the handle at the top. Aged finish. Axe measures 17 1/4 inches tall, head is 6 3/4 inches long by a 2 3/8 inch cutting edge. Over 50 hours of labor went into the hawk, so it will probably be a while before I offer another one of these. $750
NEW SHEET METAL PIPES
These pipes are forged for us by the talented hand of Mike Ameling. These pipes show up on many trade lists as well as native sites throughout the 18th century. Also shown in Neuman's Collector's Encylopedia of the American Revolution. While the curved pipe is somewhat of an adaptation, it is in keeping with the style of clay pipes of the period. These pipes are quite sturdy and smoke very much like the typical clay. Only the bowl and very short amount of the stem gets hot. Could be the last pipe you will ever need.
Short Straight Pipe $30
Long Straight Pipe $40
Long Curved Pipe $40

New Colonial Coins
Reproductions of some of the most common coins in circulation in colonial North America. The colonies and early US were always short of hard currency of their own. English, French, and Spanish colonial coins made up much of the currency in circulation. These coins are cast in fine pewter from molds made directly from original coins, so they capture the wear and look of actual circulated coins. Coins are $2 each, or $12 for a set of all 7 coins.
