here is some pics of my cheapo forge and 100 year old anvil. I am working on getting a new forge built soon, which will make it easier to make bigger knives.
My name is Tom Halloran. I am an American Bladesmith Society Apprentice, and I have been making knives since early 2008 when I got back from Iraq. I learned to forge and finish from ABS Mastersmith Ed Caffrey, in Great Falls Montana.

I like to make hard use hunting knives and combat/tactical knives . I think a knife should be fully functional first, and then the looks will flow out of that. Ed told me this--"A knife should look good, feel good and work good" Pretty simple huh? I agree!
One of my passions is bowhunting and making knives is a perfect fit with that. The only problem is trying to figure out some days whether I would rather hunt or be in the shop. Either way, I win.
If you see something you like, drop me a line at halloran45@hotmail.com or call me 208-771-2250 and lets talk knives. Maybe I can make something special for you.
