Andrew Welton is a blacksmith who forges kitchen tools inspired by medieval archaeology.
They hand forge cooking knives using carbon steel, Damascus steel, and steel they smelt from ore (stone) in a medieval-style bloomery furnace. Every blade comes to life with organic patterns and patinas that grow more complex as you take them home and put them to work in your kitchen. Every knife has a wood handle that Andrew carves from their favorite hardwoods to match the balance and form of the blade.
Andrew's finished designs translate the visual language of medieval weaponry they study in museums to the kitchen, for example what would a spearhead look like if it were a hand-forged spatula?
Everything is made by hand using Andrew's collection of restored antique forging tools in Mars, PA.
