My name is Steven Hatley —I was 42. A father. A husband. A nobody on paper.

For 18 years, I worked at the forge line in Hollow Forge Co.—we made blades for farm tools, rail companies, even the official once.

Then one Monday morning, they called us in.
And just like that, the furnace went cold.
No severance. No pension. Just a pat on the back and a box to carry out my gloves.
So I did what I could with what I had.
This was the first knife I ever forged is made from leftover stock I salvaged during my last shift at the plant. The handle’s carved from wood scraps I dug out behind an abandoned lumber mill. Every groove, every burn mark, tells the truth: I built this with nothing but desperation and hope.

Hand-forged by Steven, this is a "hardcore knife" that you can carry every day, from the wilderness to the city, from camping to unboxing, every cut is steady, accurate and fierce.
