Ferrum Forge Knife Works

1345 · Jan 3, 2016

So I recently took a flight to San Diego and visited the dudes at Ferrum forge. I can't say enough about how awesome my experience was while visiting. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none. While there I filmed 3 days worth of video. The first video is of Chris and Elliot building their NTAC folders, with a few Sm100 blades getting some final prep.
The second vid is the process of building a makers choice SM100 stinger. Makers choice purchase options gives Elliot and Chris the freedom to create a one of a kind piece for the end receiver. Pretty bad ass process. Everything on the makers choice variety is done by hand.... It's about a 14 hour process condensed to 5 and a half minutes where he goes from blank scales and blade to a fully functional finished product.
The third vid is just a random thing I edited of clips that got rejected from the makers choice mini documentary.

I gotta give it to the Williamson brothers. A total class act.

GORGEOUS!!!!

And, thanks for the video links! :thumbup:

I work near the shop and am lucky enough to be able to stop by and pick up my order from Ferrum Forge. Getting a first hand glimpse of current models in production an prototypes is AWESOME!! Seems like every few months when I buy a new blade, Elliot has upped his game yet again! I'm already saving for a couple new knives coming out in 2016!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Probably my favorite knife makers! Amazing knives! I am saving up for at least one of their 2016 knives!

I finally lucked into one of their Ferox blades and I see why they don't pop up too often!!

Yeah, I have actually been doing that lately. For the price and materials they are almost impossible to beat.

I have a Fortis that they put a ceramic detint in and it is smoother than anything I have ever flipped.

I am pissed at myself that I wasn't paying attention during the Stinger pre-order and missed out on the makers choice. Had to settle for a standard one.
