J.H. Forge Custom Knife Maker • Pawlet, Vermont

These knives are awesome, but wait until you see them in person! Several of our guests have purchased custom knives from Jim, and we have too. And, many others simply visit the website and buy online.

Read our amusing short blog about the custom oyster shucker we had made, the five-inch handle is made from black walnut, and we also have a matching black walnut handle bread knife that we also couldn’t live without! See how Ferdinand Magellan makes his way into the story.

Jim Hurlburt, the owner, not only creates custom knives, but a variety of other tools. Jim is incredibly interesting and has a full machine shop on Route 30 in Pawlet, and a few years ago Jim built a 1930s era 30’ Chris-Craft Mahogany Runabout.
