Marvyn Eibner - Bladesmith

Welcome to Arashi Forge

A small modern forge specialising in hand-forged kitchen knives, blacksmithing & fine jewellery. Set just a short walk from the North Devon coast in England, in the village of Lee Bay. Arashi Forge is the home of Marvyn Eibner, Bladesmith. My Knives are made using traditional and modern techniques, completely hand forged in a clean burning, hand powered charcoal Japanese style sword forge, with UK sourced hardwood handles and high quality, carbon steel metals. I create unique, beautiful and functional tools serving the Kitchen or outdoors, for all skill levels and costs.

I work small scale, giving every knife, or piece of jewellery the care it deserves. Nothing is batch made, and all my forging is done by hand, it is important to me that handcrafted tools remain affordable, with care put into every step of the process. But if you don’t find anything you like here, then why not learn to make your own knife or silver ring in one of my one to one courses.

As well as my forging and jewellery, I offer custom knife making, sharpening services, repairs and restoration of western and Japanese knives. As well as handcrafted leather, handmade tools, and silver and gold Jewellery.

Bladesmithing & Jewellery courses

As well as creating my own work, I offer my skills for you to learn how to forge your very own knife, or craft your very own piece of silver jewellery. My courses are run on a one to one basis, offering you my undivided attention, where you can either learn to work carbon steel in a traditional, hand powered charcoal sword forge, or spend some time carefully shaping and hammering precious metals into your very own, handcrafted piece of jewellery.

These workshops are open to all and don’t require any prior experience. For more information visit my courses page or contact me.
