Welcome to Salt City Steel

Custom Knives, Tools, and Art.

About Me:

I have been building and modifying things since I was a child. My father taught me metalworking, and my mother taught me woodworking. My skills and interests developed and resulted in me becoming a high school technology teacher.

I became fascinated with blacksmithing after watching Forged in Fire, and started building my own equipment and knives. I mainly made custom order knives for family and friends until I was approached by a casting director for Forged in Fire. I ended up competing on Season 8 Episode 23. It was a blast to compete, and I am still in touch with the other guys from the show (Neil, Josh, and Brian).

I have met so many great people that helped me develop my abilities, and I hope to continue learning and improving my work for years to come. I am also grateful for all of my patrons that allow me to continue making knives and improve my tooling.
