Great selection of high-quality greenwood carving tools, and great service
Epic service and great knowing someone hand writes little notes still. Rock on! Wenge and some ambrosia maple slab we had from VT
My knife came safely and securely packaged. It arrived quickly, with plenty of communication from the retailer. Excellent quality product, and an excellent quality retailer. Very satisfied with this purchase.
Can't say enough about the excellent customer service, product selection, and fast/reliable shipping. One small gesture that doesn't go unnoticed are the handwritten thank you notes that Redbeard does.
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.
