That was neat, looks like they have a series of tools made.

Thats real fab work there, although Im afraid they might be sctreching the truth a little far with that video. looks like the axe sells for around 200 bucks and they make alot of other products as well, no way they can give attention like that to every product for that price. There is some kind of mass-production assembly line type work going on there.

Not to take anything away from that video because at least it gives light to the amount of work that does go into hand crafting something like that, very cool to watch

made at a small cabin in the woods :) i like how a lot of the tools to make them are antique also

I am with Scott on this. I wanted to see how much those pieces of art cost and the price is low enough they have to be mass production some how. However, their kitchen knifes I could believe are hand made, Some are up to 500 a piece.


Quite good looking, video was pretty nice.

I honestly don't think there is any mass production (other than suppliers of the steel and possibly wood) involved with these. From start to finish the axe probably took no longer than 3-4 hours.

pretty sick, neat to see they add another piece of metal in the end. Blacksmith has always fascinated me.
