Hello, I’m Kevin Parido, and along with my wife Sarabeth, I founded Shepherd's Forge in 2021. We believe that some things in life simply feel right because they are inherently so. For me, hand-forging, fitting, and finishing a knife is one of those things.

When you purchase a knife from Shepherd's Forge and care for it properly, it will become a treasured heirloom, passed down through generations.

Our goal is to create a lasting legacy with every knife we craft. We are committed to delivering a blade that is simple, durable, and functional—one that you can proudly hold and cherish for years to come.
