Welcome to Black Stoke Forge

We are a small bladesmith shop tucked into the quiet, rolling foothills of Appalachia in Southeast Ohio.

Here, each knife is more than just steel and edge — it is a story waiting to unfold. A story of who it was crafted for, the purpose it was meant to serve, and the adventures it may one day witness.

We are self-taught knife makers, shaping steel and spirit for the past six years. Our passion lies in exploring every style of blade, constantly challenging ourselves to learn, grow, and breathe life into each new creation.

Every knife that leaves our forge is born from fire and forged with care. Sharp, resilient, and crafted to the best of our ability, each blade carries a piece of our journey and dedication in its edge.
