The Luke Clan Forge

Why pay for an electrolysis engraver when you have all the scrap parts and knowledge to build one yourself! These are a few test runs I did to try it out. No paint or stickers, the designs are precisely etched deep into the metal using an electrochemical process. Exciting things to come!

Great news! I'll be able to join the rest of the Clan in the forge again soon. I'll have limitations, but it's better than watching them have all the fun without me! Should be back to 100% early 2023 with some exciting and challenging builds.

Just a quick update, shoulder is doing great! Slowly getting range of motion back and building strength. Hope to be back up and running by end of September. I appreciate everyone's patience and well-wishes.

It's with great regret that as of today the forge and woodshop will be officially closed until mid October due to pending surgery on my shoulder. I look forward to getting back into the shop and sharing some exciting things with everyone soon. Thanks for all the support and we will see you soon!

Busy weekend. Made an 18th century guillotine tool to help draw out metal. Makes it a lot easier on the shoulder lol. Got to build up my stock before surgery.

Finally getting caught up. A second and very unique Ulu and a 31inch Roman Gladius. I will be finishing a few more before I have to shut down for a few months for my surgery but hopefully will be back at it by October. More to come in the next few weeks.

Stay tuned! A few epic knives are close to completion...

06/11/2022

Due to the amount of current orders I will be unable to take on new builds for the next few weeks. All our knives are hand forged and I want to ensure each knife is made with the highest quality possible. I will continue to post knives as they are finished and will let everyone know as soon as I'm free to take on new projects. Sorry for any inconvenience .

Diamond pattern Damascus Ulu, a native Alaskan skinning knife. The Inuit Alaskans believe an Ulu passed from generation to generation holds the knowledge of each generations in it. Smoked resin handle, steel pins and a western ceder scabbard. (Pending sale)

Had the boss in the shop with me today. He makes it look easy!
