Who I Am

I’m Rob, though most people call me Ragnar. Ragweed Forge started with another knife enthusiast who built it on a foundation of real value and utility. I took over because I saw that same commitment to quality and wanted to carry it forward. My background is time spent outdoors, on hunting trips, carving wood, and relying on tools that perform when it matters. That experience means I do not sell knives that do not earn their place.

Our Story

When I stepped into the business, I built on what was already here. I went to Scandinavia to meet makers, learn their techniques, and understand why their knives feel right in the hand and last. That trip helped refine our selection and sourcing. The goal has always been to bring authentic Scandinavian craftsmanship to people who use knives for work, adventure, and making.

What We Offer

At Ragweed Forge you will find a selected range of gear chosen for real use:

• Hand-forged Scandinavian knives for bushcraft, hunting, camping, carving, and everyday outdoor tasks
• Limited edition and custom knives that combine performance with character
• Knife making supplies, handles, and parts for people who build or maintain their own tools
• High quality carving knives and carving tools for hobbyists and professionals
• Outdoor survival knives and field-ready blades vetted for durability and function

Every item is chosen with one question in mind: will it hold up when it matters. That includes trusted Scandinavian brands alongside custom work made to order.

Quality Commitment

I believe in knives that are built to last. That means true edge geometry, proper heat treatment, ergonomic handle shaping, and no shortcuts. The knives here are not decorations. They are tools that get used and trusted. The legacy of the previous owner is part of that commitment, and I keep it by making sure each piece earns its place in the forge and in your pack.

Custom Work and Limited Editions

Some of the best blades are not standard. I work directly with customers and makers on custom builds. You can choose details like grind profile, handle material, and finish so the knife fits your hand and your purpose. Limited edition runs come with their own story and are tracked so they stay meaningful. If you have a project or a vision, I can help bring it to a blade that lasts.

Shipping and Service

Getting your tool to you fast and without guesswork is part of the promise. Orders placed by 2pm Eastern ship the same day from the United States. Free shipping is available on qualifying U.S. orders over $120. The goal is to reduce wait time so your knife is ready when your next trip or project starts.

Community and Connection

Ragweed Forge is a place for people who care about what they carry. I welcome reviews, feedback, and stories of how knives are used in the field, at the bench, or on the trail. Follow the site, share your experiences, and help shape what comes next. The community keeps the work honest and moving forward.
