Our Craftsmanship | The Art of Hand-Forged Blades

Our Craftsmanship | The Art of Hand-Forged Blades

At Everest Forge, craftsmanship is not just a skill — it’s a tradition carried forward by generations of blacksmiths. Every sword, kukri, machete, or knife we produce is hand-forged with meticulous care, using age-old techniques that ensure strength, precision, and beauty. We don’t just shape steel — we forge legacy.


The Tradition of the Hammer and Anvil

Our forging process begins with the soul of our blades — 5160 high carbon leaf spring steel. Revered for its durability, resilience, and edge retention, this steel allows us to produce blades that are tough enough for field use, yet elegant enough to be admired.

Each blade is shaped through fire, hammer, and muscle — not machines. Our smiths rely on intuition and experience, guided by heat and rhythm, to form every curve, taper, and bevel.

This isn’t factory production. This is craftsmanship forged in fire.


More Than Kukris: Forging Diverse Blades with Purpose

Though we are rooted in the legacy of the Khukuri (Kukri), our craftsmanship extends far beyond:

  • Swords – Hand-forged replicas of historical and fantasy-inspired swords, crafted for collectors, practitioners, and adventurers.
  • Daggers – Elegant and deadly, forged for balance and close-quarters precision.
  • Machetes – Jungle-worthy blades built for survival, bushcraft, and chopping.
  • Axes & Hatchets – Tactical or traditional, forged to split, smash, and endure.
  • Cleavers – Functional tools with raw chopping power and clean geometry.
  • Hunting & Survival Knives – For the wild, the field, or your belt.
  • Custom Pieces – Designed in collaboration with our customers, each one unique.
  • Full Tang Construction – For unmatched durability and balance
  • Proper Heat Treatment & Tempering – So blades hold their edge under extreme use
  • Hand-Fitted Handles – Made of rosewood, horn, micarta, or custom options
  • Polishing, Sharpening & Testing – By human hands, never machines
  • Size, weight, and shape
  • Blade finish and steel profile
  • Handle materials and engravings
  • Scabbards, accessories, and presentation
  • No matter the shape or size, each piece reflects functionality, heritage, and lasting strength.

Forging Without Compromise

At Everest Forge, we don’t believe in shortcuts. Every step of our process is intentional: We forge tools that don’t just look good — they perform in the wild, in the kitchen, or on the battlefield.


The Spirit of Custom Forging

Every person is different — and so is every blade.

Our custom forging service allows you to bring your dream blade to life. Whether it’s a historically accurate longsword, a personalized kukri, or a custom-designed machete — we work closely with you on: If you can envision it, we can forge it — all by hand, from start to finish.


The Forging House Difference

We operate as a Forging House, not a factory. That means every craftsman at Everest Forge is invested in the outcome of every single piece. It’s not about mass production. It’s about legacy, integrity, and honor in every blade.

This commitment to excellence has earned us the trust of thousands of collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, and blade lovers across the world.
