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.
Just received my Helle Rubin knife, got great service from Redbeard as always. Highly recommend this company. It is also a great place to shop for a birthday present for yourself (or others). :)
I received my order, I’m very impressed by the knife and the small Viking whetstone I really cool as well!! I’m very happy with the knife and with the service I received. I highly recommend these folks 100%!!
I wanted to honor my late father with an inscription on my new Helle Rubin Limited….as expected Ragwood came thru for me, a beautiful knife for my collection made special by the quality engraving! Much Thanks!

Great wood, easy to work and beautiful brownish purple finish in
Made a knife using the Lauri little leuku 90. Purpleheart and figured walnut for the handle with leather spacers. Ragweed forge is great! Fast shipping good business!

Hard leather wrapped sheath
Had the idea from some other bushcraft style knives to utilize a mora OG sheath and really worked better than expected. So some more tweaking but turned out for a first and second run.

Absolutely gorgeous
The knife is razor sharp, and the fit and finish are just right. The handle is absolutely gorgeous—one of the best-looking knives I own. The full grind makes it easy to slice and dice. It’s a knife I’d use equally in the kitchen or at the fireside. It fits my hand perfectly. This is one you need in your collection. Buy with confidence.
Redbeard, THANK YOU for such a beautiful knife. Fast shipping and an easy transaction.

Lauri 95 SS w/ Ricasso
This is the 5th one of these blades that I have purchased. This is an excellent small to medium sized blade that is as functional as it is good looking. See pic of finished product and judge for yourself.
