Repair & restoration by yours truly

Anything dirty, dingy, or dusty. Anything rotten, ragged, or rusty. I provide care to your tools as if they were my own with each swing of the hammer and every pass of the file. From hammers to axes to knives, I strive for perfection every time.

  • A handle on handles

    Cracked, loose, or just missing, I can replace any handle on any hammer, axe, or knife.

  • Face to face

    Scratches and dents marring your material? I will clean, reshape, and polish your faces to a mirror finish

  • Like a hot knife through butter

    If your blade is dull, chipped, or rolled, EKM Forge is just the place to fix it. Guaranteed to slice, chop, and shave.

Pricing/inquiries

Edge sharpen*

Deep clean

$75

Complete removal of rust/dirt from the tool and then polished. Edge sharpen included. While hammers, axes, knives, and similar tools are my strong suit, I will service any hand tool to the best of my ability.

Handle Replacement

Starting at $50

If your axe/hammer handle is damaged or missing, I will make and install a replacement handle from scratch out of hickory with a walnut wedge at the eye. If a different species of wood is requested, I will use the chosen material for a fee. A knife handle will be replaced with a material chosen by the customer.
