Meet Redbeard

Hi, I’m Redbeard, the owner of Ragweed Forge. I’ve always had a thing for well-made knives, especially the simple, honest designs coming out of Scandinavia. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors hunting, fishing, and exploring, I’ve come to rely on tools that don’t let you down.

In the spring of 2024, I traveled through Scandinavia and visited some of the factories behind the knives I’ve admired for years. I got to meet the makers, see how the blades come together, and learn more about the traditions that go into every one of them. It gave me an even deeper respect for the craft and the people keeping it alive.

Back home, in Upstate New York, I test everything I sell. If a knife’s in the store, it’s because I’ve put it through its paces and know it holds up. If you ever have a question or need help picking the right one, just ask. I’m happy to help.

Scandinavian knives chosen by experience

Ragweed Forge is built around a simple idea: great knives are meant to be used. Inspired by traditional Scandinavian knife design, our selection focuses on tools that are practical, durable, and made to perform in real outdoor conditions.

Tested in the field, not just on a shelf

Every knife at Ragweed Forge is tested before it’s offered for sale. From wood processing and camp tasks to food prep and daily carry, each blade must prove its reliability before earning a place in the shop.

Rooted in Scandinavian craftsmanship

Scandinavian knives are known for clean lines, functional blade geometry, and honest materials. These are tools shaped by generations of makers who value performance over decoration and that philosophy defines our entire selection.

A curated selection You can trust

We don’t carry everything. We carry what works.

If you have questions or need help choosing the right knife, you’ll get real guidance from someone who uses these tools himself.
