Elemental Forge features the hand-crafted knives of bladesmith Michael Kemp.

Each piece is created from carefully chosen raw stock and natural materials to match the qualities and requirements of each blade. Design, forging, shaping, heat treating, and finishing are all personally accomplished by the bladesmith.

When I build up some inventory I will put up a "real" web site. But for now, this will serve!

I will be at the 2010 OKCA Knife Show in Eugene, Oregon. If you haven't seen this show, you've missed a real treat - 400 tables of blades, supplies, museum-quality displays along the North and South walls - see it to believe it! I will be at table N-13.

Use this button to see my latest progress notes (posted on Facebook - you do not need to have a Facebook account) - it's my "blog" for the time being.

Here you'll find old meeting notes from the 5160 Club - a group of knife makers and enthusiasts that meets monthly in Eugene, Oregon.

And this button will take you to older notes... all this will get reorganized before the April show - that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
