The Kilted Forge

Getting back at it. My first attempt at San Mai. Results coming soon! If you have any suggestions on what I should make out of this 15n20 core 80crv2 cladding San Mai hit me up. I’m thinking of folding it a few times to make it a low layer Damascus but I could be persuaded to leave it as a San mai. Not sure what the end result will be. #blade #knives #bladesmith #homeforge #forgedknife #blacksmithing #anvil #bladesmithing #forged #damascus #damascussteel #damascusknife #damascusknives #knifesales #knifelife #knives #knivesofinstagram🔪 #mbknives #mbforged #blades #blacksmithshop #bladesmithinglife

Another job wrapped up last week and another happy customer.

Honestly I absolutely loved this one. Almost didn’t want to see it go. I think I see another hawkbill in my future.

My first order has wrapped up, and if I’m being honest my first knives I completed by myself. Thank you for being my first customer Jessica Elaine Nesbitt. I hope all of the fathers that received them loved them! I know I love them.

Shout out to Brent Nolen at Brent Nolan Edge Works for the Damascus billet!

Both orders coming along. Ready for some holes for handles and then we are ready for the heat treat.

Making some progress on my first commissioned job. 1 fillet knife and 2 hunting knives.

Meet the man who wears a kilt while swinging a hammer. My name is Patrick Davidson. It’s always been a dream of mine to become a blacksmith. I’m finally working on pursuing that dream while also being a full time dad & husband.

Welcome to my shop. It doesn’t look like much but I love it!

Just changed the logo, let me know what you think.

Finally finished this one up. My boy Brent of Brent Nolan Edge Works gave some pointers forging and showed me how to finish a knife. Huge thanks to him!

A gift to the wife for a late first Mother’s Day. But honestly I can’t wait to use it.
