Made in a variety of styles and steels, these blades form the backbone of daily use knives. The medium size fixed blades are any monosteel knife that has 8 inches of blade or less. These can be done in carbon steel, stainless steel or tool steel as desired by the customer.

Contrary to popular belief, railroad spikes are not actually a suitable metal for blades. At ravensteel forge, we get around this issue by using forge welding to create a composite blade of railroad spike and tool steels. 

These blades come in a variety of design as bowies, kitchen knives, cleavers, hunting knives. The sky is the limit.

The most basic versions of these knives are just tool steel and railroad spikes, but more complex designs featuring pattern welded and wrought iron cladding are available.

If you have a very specific idea of something you want made, we can work out a design and a price that works for you. 

In general, I have to charge a lot for swords as they take incredible amounts of time, but I do make them.

The sky is the limit, but cost and time are big factors in what can be made.

 Not everyone needs a custom blade, and I'm always happy to point you towards commercially available machine produced blades if I think your needs and their quality lines up. 

If you are a bladesmith yourself and are looking to do a patternwelded blade, Ravensteel Forge can accommodate options for steel you may not have the ability to produce yourself.
These billets can be made in a range of sizes and alloys tailored to your preferences. 

Such a billet will scale in price with size and layer count.

We have made billets for high end sword manufacturers and are happy to accommodate any orders.
