Hand-forged carbon steel tools. Born in a small Ukrainianworkshop. Loved by woodcarvers, leatherworkers, bushcrafters andgift-givers in 60+ countries.For generations, the smiths in our corner of Ukraine have beenforging carbon steel by hand — one blade at a time, hammered,quenched, ground, and honed by people who actually use the toolsthey make. Sharky Forged Steel Tools carries that tradition forward.Every blade we ship is forged from hardened carbon steel52100 (ASTM A295), the same alloy used inhigh-performance bearings, chosen because it takes a screaming-sharpedge and holds it through real work. Whether you’re carving aspoon by the fireplace, sculpting a relief panel, cutting leatherfor a wallet, or splitting kindling at base camp, a Sharky tool isbuilt to feel right the first time you pick it up — and stillfeel right twenty years later.

Awesome service and superb tools! They are attentive and polite, and I felt that they wanted me to have the most useful tools for my craft, not just anything I ordered. The package was greatly protecting the edge, although I was surprised that there was not a leather guard on it, just some tape under the foam and bubble wrap, so I had to make my own guard. Even before the first gouge arrived, I’d already placed another 3 orders for 10 additional tools in total. Serhi and Zanna, and the rest of the team, thank you. Eagerly awaiting the rest of your tools!

Very high quality, hand crafted products made by people who are really putting a lot of effort into making something great, and succeeding beautifully. The steel is high quality, honed and polished to a fine cutting edge. The tools are well balanced and thoughtfully designed. These are very high quality tools that will last generations with proper maintenance. Your great grandchildren will be fighting over who gets these tools.

I received the hook knife today and it was so beautiful and very well made. I will enjoy it for many years. A leather blade cover would have been a nice touch, as most of the other forges put them on their tools. All in all, a very well made tool and fast delivery, to my home.

Beautiful custom-forged sickle. They even modified the angle for my particular application. A real pleasure to do business with, and I will definitely return the next time I need something like this.

Was disappointed with the quality of the workmanship. Presume the blade was glued into the handle? Anyway, there was a hard black material that must have flowed onto the blade when it was glued to the handle. Did get it of using a small chisel. Attention to detail would have caught that. I have big hands and the handle is on the small side. Had to use a tape type material that I have to build up the handle so I could hold it. All things conceded especially the price I could not recommend this knife to anyone. Kind of felt cheated actually.
