Let’s do this!

We hold a small variety of hands-on forging classes here at the Iron Grove homestead. Red hot project-centers experiences with half, full and multi-day options. Including some for kiddos. No prior experience required. 

We’ll provide everything you need to dive in, get your hands dirty and walk away with hand forged tools that are truly all your own.

3 nickel western

I’ve been playing with pure nickel layering for years and it never lets me down. It’s almost like steel glue. Can’t remember it ever failing on me and moves like butter under the hammer. Never gets old. 

It also acts as a carbon barrier. When you work steel this hot its contents can move around within the billet, or even cook off into the air, but they can’t really pass through the nickel. So it holds everything in place just where it should be.

Black River Gyuto

More often than not I don’t really plan out patterns in steel. I have an idea but I’m mostly winging it. But with this one I had a pretty clear vision and it happened to come out just right. 

High carbon Damascus with a black 80crv2 steel river running through.

Cheers to 10 years!

New Signature Collection hit the website over the weekend as we begin celebrating our 10 year anniversary. 
This small batch is all about our proprietary steels: layers of high carbon Damascus among folds of bronze, copper and nickel. 

Making steel is something I’ve often said is my favorite part of the process, still full of failures and surprise success, and has taken so much time and effort to develop over the years that it really brings to the front of my mind how much things have changed since our beginning.

And what will never change: Hand crafted for life.

Check this batch out online, where we have 10% off going all week and sign up for our newsletter to get some inside exclusives. 

Thanks for all the love ❤️‍🔥 taken in Dripping Springs, Texas by @irongrovetoolco
