Amateur smith · Artist
Dan Krawczynski is an amateur smith and a true artist. He brings a distinctive set of skills to Rocket Forge and approaches projects from an artist’s point of view. His different way of looking at a problem often opens new possibilities in the shop.
Resident bladesmith
Brant O’Heran is Rocket Forge’s resident bladesmith. He combines sleek design and practical functionality with a natural feel for the craft. His Damascus blades are more than tools—they are works of art, with detail and presence that photographs simply cannot do justice.
