Heartwood Forge

Heartwood Forge is propelled by the creative transformation of discarded resources. While reclaiming by-products of industry from around the Southeastern US, owner and operator Will Manning crafts these materials into exquisite, sublime forms that function as high performance tools as well as heirlooms created to last generations. Each of our forged knives are created from recycled carbon steel that is subject to professional scientific testing, establishing certainty that they are the highest quality steel available. All of our handles are made from salvaged or foraged material from around the region, often utilizing native hardwoods, which are unique to culinary knives. Heartwood Forge takes immense pride in our craft and in this we produce knives that stand the test of time.
