Steel With Some Personality.

Every knife can be its own piece of art. The blade pattern, handle shape, materials, pins, finish, and small details all work together to create something distinctly 3MLZ FORGE.

This is where Mike's story can live: how he got started, what inspires his designs, the materials he enjoys working with, and what goes into creating a finished piece.
