Tim Scholl forged Damascus knife

Steel shaped by hand,
edge to spine.

Forged blades start as raw bar stock and are worked under the hammer until the profile, distal taper, and geometry are right. Tim grinds, heat-treats, and finishes every blade himself — no outsourcing, no shortcuts.

Hunters, fighters, camp knives, and custom one-offs — if you have a design in mind, Tim can build it. All forged pieces are made to order.
