ABOUT

​

Nestled in a tranquil backwoods setting, (Leprechaun Lair Forge), "LLForge", is the manifestation of a lifetime fascination.  

The energy of the peaceful surroundings permeates each piece made.  

With over 15 years of experience, I have meticulously honed my craft in blacksmithing and bladesmithing. At LLForge (Leprechaun Lair Forge), I offer traditional blacksmithing services, alongside a selection of high-carbon knives and cutlery that showcase both quality and artistry.

 

I was honored to be a finalist on season 5, episode 13 of the History Channel's "Forged in Fire," where I showcased my creation, the "Horseman's Axe."

 

Inspired by the success of my blacksmithing skills on "Forged in Fire," I started offering forge and blade smithing experiences at the forge.  "Learn to Forge" was the first of what is now a series of six experiences.  I've expanded my offerings to include immersive hands-on forge and knife-making learning workshops, allowing you to dive deeper into the art of forging. I invite you to choose the experience that resonates with you and join me soon! - Mike
