My forge is in Chiswell Green, St Albans, Herts, to the east of Watford. I’ve been a blacksmith in Herts since 2014, when I left college. I will make anything that involves forged / hot metal, such as a kitchen knife, decorative sword or axe, commissioned work or bottle openers.

Sculptures, gates, railings.
Kitchen knives & cleavers
I make kitchen knives and chefs’ knives, often from recycled steel, such as reclaimed car springs, truck springs, files & fork lift tines.
