Meet the Maker | Hephaestus at Everest Forge
At Everest Forge, we believe that every blade carries a soul — not just of the warrior who wields it, but of the blacksmith who forges it. Behind every sword, kukri, machete, and axe is a story of fire, hammer, and heart. This is where tradition meets precision — in the hands of our makers, who are not just artisans, but modern-day Hephaestuses.
A Legacy Born in Fire
Our forging house is built on generations of blacksmithing tradition, where knowledge is passed down not through manuals, but through calloused hands, blazing furnaces, and the ring of hammer against steel. Every craftsman at Everest Forge is a guardian of this legacy — transforming raw 5160 spring steel (leaf spring) into blades of purpose and power.
Mastery in Motion: The Human Touch
We do not rely on machines. We rely on skill.
From the initial shaping to the final polish, every blade is formed by hand. The full-tang construction, balanced tempering, and razor-sharp edge are not accidents — they are the result of years of mastery and deep understanding of metallurgy and utility. Whether it’s a jungle-ready kukri or a historically inspired longsword, it’s built to perform.
More Than Khukuris: Forging Beyond Boundaries
While our roots began with the iconic Khukuri, our craftsmanship has expanded to include a wide range of hand-forged blades:
- Historical Swords
- Combat and Tactical Daggers
- Survival Machetes
- Heavy-duty Cleavers
