About Us
Forged Together
Jody, who is full time military & Jennifer, who is a master barber are the owners, operators, and artists of the forge. Located near the Kentucky River in Versailles, Kentucky, the bladesmith duo forge one of a kind knives that are not only functional but unique and versatile. From intricate hand forged Damascus/pattern welded designs to simple mono-steel blades, they use their skillset, experience, and attention to detail to make pieces that can be passed down from generation to generation.
The Pen is Mightier than the Sword
Jody & Jennifer consistently research and study their craft. From learning from others, to reading, to experimenting on their own, they believe the only way to get better is to educate yourself daily and get out of your comfort zone often.
Details Matter
Jennifer's (@lipstickblacksmith) background as a professional barber provide her with the vision and patience required when designing a distinctive piece.
