Mr.Kim Thomas

Blacksmith & Knifemaker

Welcome I've been enjoying blacksmithing since 1984 and I'm still as excited about it as I was the first time I picked up a hammer.

Some of the other places you might have seen me

My work has appeared in "KNIVES 95" thru "KNIVES 99" and was chosen as one of the
Top 200 craftsmen in the United States by "Early American Life" magazine in 1995 and 1997 and again in 2005 and 2007!
My work has also appeared in "BLADE" "BACKWOODSMAN" and "ANVIL'S RING"

About the items I forge to sell on Ebay; These are copies of original items I have seen in books or museums. I forge these as an attempt to understand the skills of the masters of the past and to learn from them. These items I feel are the best I have to offer as they were made with NO constraints on them such as; Time, cost, or customer design. Each item is forged using only traditional tools and tecniques. I do not use modern tools and then cover up their use. I don't have to. Each item is crafted "One at a time" and I do not make multiples. NOTE; So far, these items sell for much less than they are worth, but I've enjoyed making them and learned something along the way. ( And I can't keep everything I make ) These items take time to make so there isn't a lot of them but I have something new every other week or so. Thank you for your interest. Kim Thomas
