Riverstone Forge, LLC
Forged steel made with traditional blacksmithing methods. Timeless creations forged into a legacy.
The Village Blacksmith
Hearken back to hand forged goods made by the local blacksmith. Blades, tools, and general household items are forged from steel stock using traditional blacksmithing methods: a forge, anvil, and hammer. Blades and tools are forged to shape using a solid fuel blacksmith forge and heat treated by hand using the forge. The blades are polished using hand files, abrasives, and water stones before they are fitted into custom handles and sheathes.
The result is an individually hand-forged good, crafted in the USA to endure and leave a legacy.

Blacksmithing Items and Services
-
Riverstone Forge LLC specializes in bladesmithing, meaning that the blades and tools are forged to shape rather than shaped with power tools. The blade profile, bevels, and tang (handle) are forged with a solid fuel forge (charcoal or mineral coal). Blades are sold based on stock cost, length of blade, number of cutting edges, style, special features (e.g. fullers), and assembly type. The hand-forged blades and tools are heat-treated and tempered to provide a tough, keen edge.
