About Ferrum Forge

Ferrum Forge Knife Works: the story of two brothers

Ferrum Forge Knife Works is the brainchild of Elliot and Chris, two brothers from the United States. The story started in 2009, in Elliot's garage. His study of archaeometallurgy (the study of the development of metallurgy in antiquity) led him to the following realisation: 'If man has been making knives for centuries. Why can't I do the same?' Four years later and Elliot is a fully-fledged knife maker who records his entire process and publishes it on YouTube. This brought him much acclaim and the demand for his work increased. When the work became too much to handle for one person his brother Chris entered the stage. First as Elliot's apprentice and weekend helper, and from 2014 as a full-time partner.

Limited Runs

In the years 2013 to 2017 the two brothers decided to focus solely on Limited Run knives. There are only 200 pieces of each run. Limited Run knives are made with CNC machines after which the brothers modified them with unique, experimental finishes. From knives that appeared to come straight from an Alien vs. Predator film to Star Wars inspired colour schemes. 200 knives, however, once again wasn't enough. The solution? The Pro Collections! This is what Ferrum Forge's range consists of today almost entirely. These are premium production knives, designed by Elliot and Chris, produced by famous knife manufacturers in China. Knives that, at first glance, might look simple, but definitely highlight the years of experience and knowledge of both brothers.
