Ironlord Forge

Wayne Saunders made his first knife at high school from an old file, and got hooked on blacksmithing while travelling the Mid North Coast years later. He has forged full-time since 2003, holds a blacksmith's trade qualification, and is a full member of the Australian Knifemakers Guild. From his Wauchope forge he makes knives, axes, tools, jewellery and decorative ironwork by hand, and teaches it too: small multi-day courses in blacksmithing, knifemaking and Damascus, one or two at a time.
