WELCOME
What's New?
Welcome to Mette Enterprises, LLC's website. The website is brand new and I hope that you
can come in get comfortable check out the products and services I have to offer. Red Oak Forge
knives is our brand of knives. I create sole authorship high carbon steel knives from 1084 or
5160 steel. This means that I make all of the parts of the knife from metal stock and blocks of
wood or whatever the material may be. I do not use any pre-made parts such as cast guards or
spacers, I cut them all out of bar stock and shape them myself. All of the leather work is done by
me and hand sewn with harness needles and harness quality thread using at least 9 ounce
American vegetable tanned cowhide. My Damascus knives are currently made from Deer
Mountain Forge billets that I bought a few years ago. In the future, I will make my own
Damascus and I will be sure to let everyone know that the Damascus is mine when it actually
is made by me.

Why make forged blades?
I spend a great deal of time and attention to detail forging all my blades as close to their final
shape as possible to minimize grinding. All Red Oak Forge knife blades are finished to at least
400 grit satin finish. The Damascus blades are finished to 600 grit polish before they are
etched to ensure that they are smooth and will not hang up while cutting. Grinding marks cause
drag while cutting and make a knife feel dull when it isn't really. Everyone should own a Red
Oak Forge knife. Because as I have said and will always say, "You really only need one good
knife!" You might as well have a quality knife from Red Oak Forge knives.

I make and sell my own knives because I found that I couldn't get a store bought knife that will
hold an edge so I decided to find out how to make them. I want to share my products with as
many people as I can. I also offer a sharpening service for my knives and any other knife
someone wants me to try to sharpen. Check the services tab for more information.
