Pitch Black Forge is a one-man operation. All metalwork is done in house, including the making of pattern welded steel for knives and jewelry. I make my own sheaths, design the merch, and handle shipping. I work full time as an architectural blacksmith, and operate this business in addition to a normal work week. This is not a hobby. I have traveled extensively and studied under a number of world class smiths to further my understanding of this craft, and see this as a lifelong mission. Thank you for your interest in my work.
