I forge knives for those protecting this country foreign and domestically, for those that survive and hunt, and for those who enjoy the act of food preparation

@enhanced_info I would get 500 dollars worth of test enanthate.

This is one of a set of Ospreys that is going out to a group of awesome dudes that sacrifice for the freedoms we typically take for granted. I’m honored to be able to put some quality tools in the hands of some real badasses and can’t wait to hear how they handle being forward deployed. Thanks for looking and supporting my passion.

This Huginn is going out as an auction item to the Donovan and Bank Foundation. Ran by a former Green Beret and who help fund prior operators to getting the help they need from people like @stressalist_. They helped fund my treatment which has been life changing, both personally and with my relationship. Thanks guys and hopefully this little gesture will help raise funds to continue to support Operators in need.

A look at an epic piece that I’m working in between production work. This is a fighter that I forged out from a billet I made with my friend @fenic_forge. He came out to the shop while visiting the area and we put some major hours into making this billet. Now I’m taking it the rest of the way. I can’t wait to see it finished. Thanks for looking.

@gannotti Thank you!

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

Did a little work on this last night. Gonna probably get it heat treated today. But that’s probably about it for today. Gotta get caught up on school work.

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

@EduNainM Thank you very much 🙏

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

My current piece I’m working on. An integral recurve chopper that I forged using the knowledge I learned from my brother and mentor @jason_knight_knives, combined with the knowledge I learned from my brother and hamon sensei @gcknives_inc. I highly suggest you go level up and take classes from both of these incredible makers. You will not be disappointed.

This is an 8” hand forged brute de forge integral chopper with hamon.

It sports a domed copper pin for a splash of color and comes with a nice zip up sheath. This will be available through @ridgerunnerblades so you can hit me or Ridgerunnerblades up about this piece and you will@get taken care of. It comes with a nice zip up sheath.

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

@gannotti Thanks bro, it is coming along

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

Handle is sculpted and ready for glue up, but first I will finish out the blade and reveal that hamon.

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

@RedBeardOps Thanks dude!

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

@gannotti Thanks brother I hope so. Making slow progress, but progress nonetheless

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

Getting the handle fitted up. Some nice African Blackwood.

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

@DeltaSheath Thanks dude!

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

Simple clay pattern and hamon check. Came out as expected which is nice. Hamons don’t always like to play nice.

[Tim Meleski @ouroboros_forge]

@RobertBillardJr That is the proper inflection for the word I believe. When you say it you are also supposed to be grabbing your crotch, or at least I do.
