Strength

Through Fire

Hey! We’re the Floods

A little about us, we have been together making cool shit since we met in 2019. COVID forced us indoors and led to lots of boredom inspired DIY, just like the rest of the nation. We started playing with fire and steel and soon, our forge was born.

Caleb is a USMC Veteran, former firefighter and rescue technician, and currently working full time as a paramedic as well as competing in powerlifting and working as a personal trainer on the side.

Erin is a full time welder/fabricator as well as an avid gym goer. 

We have our day jobs and side hustles, but both of us feel the most passionately about creating sharp art and perfecting our bladesmithing craft. We are so grateful to every one of our amazing customers for all the support we’ve gotten since forming the business in 2021 and we hope to continue to make new and better things for you beautiful people. 

Our ultimate goal is to establish a stand alone shop (not our garage haha) where we can not only make badass blades for y’all, but also do classes for budding blade smiths, as well as eventually form a program where veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD can come learn and experience the peace beating hot iron can bring. 

Until then, the grind continues! Thank you for your support, it truly means the world to us.
