What you are holding
Half of this blade still wears the black scale left by the forge; the rest is ground bright to the edge. Three and three quarter inches of plain carbon steel, no layered pattern, set into stag scales banded in natural color, with a rosewood bolster and brass pins on a full tang. At seven and a half inches overall, it handles the twine, wire, and hide work of a ranch day. It ships in its fitted leather belt sheath, char with a pale welt and straw stitching, at no extra cost.
Every Ranch is forged to order in the same sequence and inspected against the spec standard before it ships.

One steel, forged and ground to a satin
Plain-steel blades are forged from a single steel, named in the specifications, then ground and finished. Every knife is made to the same written standard and inspected against it before it ships.
The steel is heated and forged to the rough shape of the blade, then drawn out to length.
The profile and the bevels are ground by hand, the tang and the spine trued to the drawing.
The blade is hardened and tempered before the handle goes on.
The blade is finished, the handle fitted and shaped, the edge sharpened and inspected.
Carried, not boxed
This knife ships with a Crownridge char leather belt sheath, pale welt, straw-gold saddle stitching, brass stud; included at no extra cost. Leather holds moisture, so store the knife out of it between seasons.
Engraving is cut on any of three surfaces, the blade, the sheath or the handle, at $19.00 a surface. Text or a plain logo, in one colour, the surface's own; nothing is printed. Choose the surfaces above the button and type the text, and you see it drawn where it will be cut before you order. An engraved piece can only be returned if it arrives defective.
Carry
- Belt carry
- A strap holds the knife in
- Leather: store the knife out of it between seasons
Three habits, a lifetime of use
Wipe the blade dry and rub on a little oil. Never the dishwasher. A carbon-steel blade takes a grey patina with use; that is not rust.
Store it dry and out of the sheath for long stretches, because leather holds moisture. A light coat of oil before the off season.
A few strokes on a fine stone at the factory angle keep the edge; a strop between sharpenings. The care guide.

Where you have been
Before you order
The answers you look for most, from the policies and the forge.
Something else? Ask the forge, replies within one business day.
How long until it ships?
A knife with no engraving is dispatched in the business days shown above the button. Add engraving and it is forged and cut for you, which adds about four days. Either way it is delivered 5 to 8 business days after dispatch, within the United States.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery, unused, with the sheath, box and papers. On a change of mind the $9 return label is deducted from the refund. A defect is replaced free. An engraved piece can only be returned if it arrives defective.
What does the lifetime forge warranty cover?
Every forge weld and every handle fit, for the life of the knife, for the original purchaser. Normal wear, sharpening and damage from misuse are not defects.
How does engraving work?
Choose the surfaces offered above the button, each priced beside it: the blade, the leather sheath, slip or guard, and the handle where it takes a mark. Wooden handles and the knife roll are not engraved. Type the text and you see it drawn where it will be cut. It takes text or a plain logo, cut into the surface in one colour, the surface's own; nothing is printed. A logo goes on the same way: upload it in the same box, PNG, JPG, SVG or PDF, up to 18 MB, cut in one colour like the text. Check the spelling: an engraved piece can only be returned if it arrives defective.
Will the knife look exactly like the photographs?
The photographs are studio views of this model. A Damascus pattern is its own on every blade, and natural handle materials vary in figure and colour. The lengths hold to the spec standard: within 3 mm of the listing.
How do I look after a carbon-steel blade?
Wipe it dry after use and oil it lightly. Keep it out of the dishwasher and out of the sheath for long storage, because leather holds moisture. A grey patina with use is normal and not rust.
