I recently placed an order with Ragweed Forge and could not be happier with the experience.
Their site is straightforward, their selection is excellent, and they carry the kind of honest working blades I actually like — plain steel, useful shapes, and no unnecessary flash. I ordered several blades and a couple of Mora knives, and everything arrived quickly, was well packed, and was exactly as expected.
What I appreciated most was the help and honesty. I had questions about blade options, and Red Beard gave me clear, practical advice instead of trying to upsell me into something more expensive or unnecessary. That means a lot.
Ragweed Forge feels like a place run by people who understand knives as tools, not jewelry or internet fashion props. No-nonsense, no-pressure, just good blades, good service, and fair dealing.
I will definitely be buying from them again.
They can keep the Damascus circus somewhere else. Ragweed Forge is where I’ll be looking for real working blades.
