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.
Excellent sales and service. Love the products. Will be a repeat customer.
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've bought quite a few knifes never had an issue good quality. Ragweed forge is great.
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%!!
Beautiful and sharp! Ragweed Forge and Morakniv never disappoint. Always fast and low cost shipping! I have been buying from Ragweed Forge for over 10 years now and the customer support is the best.
I used to buy quite a bit from Ragweed back when Ragnar still owned it but haven't for a while. I'm glad to see that Redbeard is providing the same quality, service and fair prices.
This is my first stop for Scandinavian knife making supplies.

Shopping experience is excellent at Ragweed Forge. I especially like the menu and how it’s organized by Country’s, plus there is a whole menu dedicated to Morakniv it just makes what you’re looking for easy to find. I have purchased now many knives from Ragweed Forge and I’m confident if I ever have an issue Ragweed Forge will take care of it… I haven’t had any issues though! Most recently bought some Puukko’s for my father’s Birthday! I absolutely believe Scandinavian knives are the best in the world and Ragweed Forge is my favorite North American retailer!

More great blades from Ragweed Forge. Lauri PT80 with ebony and bloodwood and a Lauri Little Leuku 120 stainless I turned into a drop point hunter with desert ironwood, padauk and ebony. Thank you for the continued great service and merchandise.
Website was easy to navigate and the service was fast. Sharpening tools and a couple of carving knives arrived in sharp and ready to go. Good value! I’ll be back.
I purchased several Lauri blades from Redbeard some time ago and was able to take a break from gunsmith work to make some knives. I am very pleased with the product quality and customer service I received from Ragweed forge. Pictured are a few examples. I ground these blades to a rhombic profile and I'm very pleased with the results.
best service .i have been buying knives for a few years now.the best service there is.keep up the good work .redbeard.thank you sir
I've been buying knives for over 35 years and NEVER have I found better customer service than I have at Ragweed Forge.
If I want a knife and Ragweed Forge has it, I buy if from them. Although Redbeard (Owner) price matches, I don't usually shop around because I trust Redbeard enough to know his prices are reasonable. Besides, if anything goes wrong, I can call and the guy who picks up the phone IS THE OWNER! He answers questions, handles problems and quality checks every single order before it goes out the door.
Redbeard can answer questions, educate, and help you find a knife that will fit your needs. He's met with most of the knife makers he represents so he has firsthand knowledge of how those knives are made.
All in all, there's just no beating Ragweed Forge in terms of knowledge, trust, customer service and quality products.
I made this knife for my partner for Christmas this year and it turned out beautifully. The knife blanks and bolsters I ordered were a very high quality and fit together with minimal effort. Items were shipped very quickly. Redbeard was quick to respond and informative when I needed some help. Highly recommend this shop
Ragweed Forge is a great place to get knife building supplies. Customer service is awesome! I built my first knife with a Helle knife blade and Bocote wood from Ragweed Forge. I'll definitely continue to order from Ragweed Forge!
