    These things are functional works of art and I'm in love! Unfortunately they are not cheap but the craftsman ship and time invested relative to the cost I feel is worth it. Some of these have 50 hours into their creation. All are 100% hand forged in house by their respective makers, none of that damasteel crap.

    The first 3 were made by Dreamer Forge Knives who is local in Mt Airy. He, Vince, was on Forged in Fire and is a hell of a nice guy. I have 2 more kitchen knives coming from him within the next few weeks. The filet knife is not damascus obviously. You can find his work at https://www.instagram.com/dreamerforgeknives/

    The next 2 pics are a slicing knife from Casey at Lynn Valley Forge in Canada. He does some amazing stuff with pattern mosaic damascus as you can see. His stuff can be found at https://www.instagram.com/lynnvalleyforge/

    The last one isn't in my hands yet but will be in a few days. Charlie Ellis made this one and I cant wait to try it out.

    Worst show ever. I'll not pass up any program displaying master smiths at work. That show is schlock.

    OP, those knives are beautiful!

    I agree it could be better but they have to dumb it down for the general public. Either way it's still much better than a hour of Kardashians or 600lb life :puke::puke:

    Absolutely beautiful knives! I am a sucker for a nice Damascus knife. The father of of one of my friends was good friends with Bill Moran and he learned how to make knives under him. I don't recall seeing any Damascus in his collection but as a side note, I thought that it was cool that we had a legendary knife maker about 20 minutes away. I appreciate you posting the photos. They are fantastic!

    Thanks guys. Definitely check these guys out if you're interested. Vince at Dreamer Forge is even doing classes if you want to learn how to make knives.

    Charlie Ellis killed this one. Amazingly comfortable in the hand and the craftsmanship is top notch. The integral bolster is striking
