TESTIMONIALS

“I have known Ward for many years now and have found him to be honest, reliable and conscientious in what he produces and offers. His 18th century reproductions are made using quality materials and excellent workmanship. I cannot say enough about Eric Schatzel’s work, being one of the very few skillful blacksmiths out there making top-quality 17th and 18th hand forged products (i.e., axes, knives…) while using the proper traditional techniques and material. His French fire steels & awls, Biscayan axes, casse-têtes, boucheron and siamois knives are truly exceptional!"
