The Rio Vista Farmer’s market is back for the season and Labrado Forge will be there tomorrow from 4-7 pm sharpening on site.
We will be there on the first Thursday of each month until September.
Come on out and enjoy the delta breeze.
Stay sharp, my friends

Oh the things I see.
Clearly a Bayonet.
I’m guessing British.
Marked “1907” so maybe WW1?
Anyone in the know, feel free to elucidate.
Stay Sharp, My Friends

I was fortunate to spend the day with a great bladesmith- Rich Patterson along with my buddy Joseph Reuter .
We spent some time cutting with various blades to observe the cutting performance and food release.
Then Rich gave us some great instruction on how he grinds blades for performance as well as how he achieves a beautiful belt finish.
Rich, it was so nice to meet you. I am so grateful for the generous gift of your time and knowledge. I hope our paths cross again in the future.
Have a great time at Bladeshow in Atlanta.
Cheers!

Hope that your weekend is off to a nice start

For the next several weeks (or until we run out of stock) receive this sturdy and stylish waxed-canvas knife roll when you sharpen 5 or more items at one of our drop off partners or farmer’s markets.
We sell these for $30 but they are now on sale for $25 while supplies last.
Link in bio for our website which lists our locations.
Stay sharp, my friends!
