Tradition Meets Mastery

Welcome to Raven Loft Forge, where each blade is meticulously crafted with precision and passion, featuring exquisite Damascus steel. With over 18 years of experience, I specialize in hand-forged, one-of-a-kind swords, knives, and chef sets— including Damascus knives, bone handle bowies, and hand-engraved Viking axes—blending timeless artistry with unmatched quality.

When the Tradition Becomes Mastery, Craftmanship Becomes a Museum

After eighteen years mastering the ancient and nearly forgotten art of blade making, Raven has captivated customers worldwide with uniquely styled swords, axes, and knives. Specializing in historically accurate recreations, he delivers museum-quality craftsmanship with hand-engraved Viking axes, Damascus knives, and bone handle bowie knives. Raven’s journey began by burning through 99 farrier rasp files in a backyard forge built from an old BBQ grill. As he recalls, "The 100th rasp file was THE ONE that started it all." Since that first creation, Raven’s artistry has produced 189 blades— including hand-carved skinning knives, obsidian blades, and krambits—now proudly displayed in museums globally. Each custom piece is truly one of a kind, worthy of a place in any collection.

Crafted just for you, each sword, knife, or axe is hand-forged with meticulous care and quality. Please allow 6–16 weeks from order placement for delivery, as we create your one-of-a-kind Damascus steel blades, hand-engraved Viking axes, and custom bone handle knives.

Once your order is complete, please allow 3–5 business days for shipping. Depending on the size and weight, we ship via UPS or USPS and provide a tracking number via email for your convenience.

I first met Raven at a Viking Festival in Edgewood NM last year. I am a very big Viking Enthusiasts. The Seax I found absolutely has no words to truly Describe the Elegance and Beauty that Glimmered From the Table. The Damascus pattern alone was Breath taking.

I met Raven for the first time about 10 years ago in Visalia CA at the Tulare Renaissance Fair. I bought a "Pirate" Sword from him. Raven took it upon himself to educate me on what actually it was i was buying. it was a 18th Century Italian Rapier . till this day people still ask me where I got my Museum Replica. I always tell them to Contact Raven Loft Forge. Rave work will leave any customer breathless just in his designs let alone his craftsmanship.

He does quality work and was easy to work with. He was able to design a knife I had been wanting and brought that vision to life.
