Happy to see Mad Max Forge on Yelp. Driving back to Phoenix and saw a sign on the back of a parked pick up truck that said hand made knives. Made a loop back and saw a blacksmith shop and at the entrance was a table with some wares forged in fire! Got the story on several knives. I don't hunt so no need for skinning knives. Picked a general all purpose fixed blade and sheath. I never owned a handmade knife so this one is special. One less item on my bucket list. Beautiful knife and excellent craftsmanship. Happy to help support a small family owned business that has exceptional and unique products. read more

This young couple are great artisans and wonderful people to work with. I made a custom request and "Max" got right to design and fabrication. He delivered a custom project quickly and with such grace of character. I am looking forward to commissioning future projects. read more
