Custom orders are great fun to make but I do like to experiment with new handle materials for our range of stock knives.

This "Ericht" unzipper with breezy waves carbon fibre scales and pink starilght liners will be on the website soon.

One of those jobs I could happily get lost in.

Stone in hand, radio off and just working the steel until it starts looking the way I had it pictured in my head.

Probably not the loudest part of knifemaking, but definitely one of the most satisfying.

What workshop job could you happily do for hours?

Welcome to Wildriver Forge, Emma.

We’re delighted to welcome Em Swancott as a Wildriver Forge brand ambassador.

For us, choosing the right people to represent Wildriver Forge is about finding people who genuinely understand the world our knives are made for.

Em is an up and coming deer stalker that has gained vast amounts of experience and knowledge in her craft through her genuine connection to the outdoors and an approach to fieldcraft that closely reflects our own — patience, respect for the quarry, continual learning and doing things properly.

That made her a natural fit for Wildriver Forge.

We want our ambassadors to use our knives as they were intended — out in the field, in real conditions, and as part of their everyday stalking. Their experience and honest feedback also play an important part in helping us refine what we make at the forge.

Over the coming months, you’ll see Em putting Wildriver Forge equipment to work and sharing some of her experiences along the way.

We’re delighted to have her as part of Wildriver Forge and looking forward to what comes next.

Welcome aboard, Em.

Forged for the hunt. Built for life.

Another Ericht taking shape in the workshop.

Drilling the pin holes before moving on to the handle work. It’s a simple stage, but getting everything properly positioned now makes all the difference when it comes to fitting and finishing the handle later.

There are a lot of these small steps behind every finished knife — most of which you never see.

Made by hand in Scotland. Built for the field.
