Services
The forge is a local blacksmith supporting a range of applications, including blades, tools, general items, and custom restorations.
Blades and Tools
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.
