Any blade must first be an effective cutting edge.
Years of experience and practiced skills lay behind each blade created by the Wareham Forge. Materials are chosen, hand forged, polished and then zone tempered by eye to produce the best blend of durability and edge holding - for each specific use.

Darrell has experience working with forged metals extending back to the late 1970's. His personal work is strongly influenced by both Norse and Celtic artifacts, and also the metalworking techniques of ancient, historic and modern bladesmithing. 

Past work has ranged from small carving knives through to full sized Great Swords. The focus has always remained on the blade as cutting tool, forging methods remaining more important than 'knife as jewelery' designs. In the past, almost all blades were created as unique custom orders for individual clients.

Recently, Darrell prefers following his own creative spark, offering up individual objects as he creates them.
