We invite you to take a moment to leave a review for Forged True Smithing. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and it helps others discover the quality and craftsmanship.

Forged True customized the design to have a smaller full-size handle paired with a shortened blade that is manageable for a smaller person to wear. It’s perfectly weighted and tempered, and it has been used for everything from whittling to field dressing to cutting up picnic sandwiches the entire time I’ve owned it. The sheath is also perfectly fitted to make it easy to draw the knife out quickly with one hand, but it has never once fallen out by accident. The aesthetic of both pieces is timeless and rustic-elegant. I get compliments on it all the time!

I had no idea such a seemingly humble object would become one of my prized possessions— perhaps to be used by my grandchildren someday. Thanks Forged True!

Thank you for the knife! My uncle Dave gave it to me upon arrival and I love it. It was put to good use on an antelope. Sorry, we missed you while we were here. Maybe we’ll

catch you next season.

This year’s buck was field dressed and butchered using the custom knife Ryan made for me, and I couldn’t be more impressed with its performance. The knife held its edge incredibly well through the entire process and felt comfortable and balanced in my hand the whole time. Having a custom piece like this made the experience even more meaningful, and it’s clear the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into making it. It’s not just a knife — it’s a reliable tool I’ll continue to use for years to come.
