Meet the Maker
Andy Burcham
As a Marine Corps and Gulf War veteran, I learned early what a good knife is worth. That's the standard I forge to.
I started Sword Wolf Forge out of a passion for forging high-quality knives. I build every one in my shop in Johnstown, Ohio, with quality, design, and performance in mind.
From the Forge
Sword Wolf Forge creates functional, high-quality knives. Every knife is hand crafted from raw steel, individually heat treated, hand finished with quality handle material and custom fitted with a handmade leather sheath. I take pride in creating unique pieces for my customers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about custom knives, repairs, classes, and design requests.
Do you make swords?
No, I do not. My shop and tooling are specifically optimized for crafting high-quality custom knives.
Do you repair knives?
I take this on a case-by-case basis. I have to look at the availability of resources, materials, and construction prior to taking on a repair project. Please reach out through the contact form with details and photos so I can assess your specific knife.
Will you make a knife from steel supplied by the customer?
Typically, no. Because of the heat treat process, it is extremely difficult to get good performance out of a blade without knowing the exact steel composition.
Do you do classes?
Yes! While I don't have a set schedule, I prefer to tailor the experience to the customer. We'll discuss your goals and skill level, and I will create a class specifically for you. Due to space and equipment, classes are strictly limited to two students.
Can you make a duplicate of someone else’s knife?
No, out of respect for other artists and their work, I do not make exact replicas. However, I am happy to take inspiration from a design you like and create a unique piece in a similar style.
