Graber Forge is bladesmith Ben Graber, hand forging kitchen knives and EDC fixed blades in White Pigeon, Michigan. A Forged in Fire Season 8 competitor who now runs the forge full time, Graber builds every blade from raw stock, and each one carries a lifetime guarantee that follows the tool even when it is gifted or inherited.
The current lineup runs chef knives in 5, 6, and 8 inch lengths, a reverse tanto tipped Bunka, slim bird and trout blades, compact fixed blade EDC knives, and a friction folder in Baker Forge copper CuMai. Most blades wear Nitro-V, New Jersey Steel Baron's nitrogen enhanced take on AEB-L that holds thin edge geometry at 58 to 62 HRC, with 80CrV2 carbon steel on select pieces; our knife steel guide covers both. Handles pair layered two tone and multi color G-10 with resin composites and stabilized burl, all broken down in our knife handle materials guide.
