ForgedBarn
Hand-forged knives, hooks, hinges, fire tools, and honest hardware struck on real anvils. Each piece carries hammer marks and a maker's stamp. Buy once, hand it down.
Every settlement had a smith before it had much else. The coal fire is mostly gone now, but a few folks still keep one lit, hammering out blades and hardware that will outlast the people who buy them.
