TF Blades - we make our blades the old-fashioned way

Utilizing the same techniques that have been practiced by skilled craftsmen for centuries, we take pride in making all of our knives by hand, one at a time.

Blades born in the fire

Our hand-picked and custom made billets ensure you’ll get a blade that you can rely on and have confidence in for years to come – always tough, sharp and dependable.

An artisan's craft

By taking skills learned from traditional blacksmithing, and knowledge learned from hours in front of the forge, TF Blades strives to remain on the forefront of metallurgical processes but maintain a large part of the craftsmanship required to provide you with a quality creation.

One of a kind, matched handles

Visually interesting cuts of wood are hand-selected not only to enhance the pattern and design of the blade, but also to complement the heft, balance and feel of the blade in your hand – no two are the same.

About Us

Biography

Tony Fetters, the sole Bladesmith behind the hand-crafted TF Blades, has over 30 years of experience working in a forge. After his time serving our country as a Marine, he started blacksmithing as a farrier over an 11-year career. He continued serving his community as a police officer with a SWAT sniper background as well, until he officially retired to spend all of his time at the forge.His love of creating works of art out of steel grew from hobby to passion to obsession. Completely self-taught, his appetite continues to grow from forging simple knives to fully custom and functional, pattern-welded singular steel blades. These range from small and large hunting knives to world-class kitchen cutlery. His extensive understanding of military and law enforcement pours into his tactical blades as well.Tony uses the highest quality, high carbon based steel, 15 n20, 1084, 1095, cable, and chainsaw chain. Each of his knives are fitted with hand crafted handles from exquisite and unique wood, antlers, micarta, and bone. All his edges are whet stoned to paper shredding sharpness. Our sheaths are made by hand to fit each blade perfectly.Motto: My Blades are Born in the Fire!
