Messerforge: Craftsmanship for Every Kitchen and Every Adventure

Founded on March 9, 2023, in the United States, Messerforge was built with a simple belief: great knives should feel good in your hand, perform with confidence, and last for years.


 

Although the brand itself is young, the core team behind it brings over 20 years of professional knife manufacturing and R&D experience, covering high-end, mid-range, and entry-level solutions. This deep industry knowledge ensures that Messerforge started not as a newcomer, but as a team already seasoned in the craft.


As a U.S.-registered and U.S.-led brand, we operate our own mature facility in China to complement our American-led design, quality standards, and product development — where advanced technology meets the art of handcrafted knife making. From hand-forged blades to clean, modern industrial designs, every Messerforge series is created with the method that best suits its purpose.

Today, our knives travel to homes and professionals across North America, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Orders in North America ship from our warehouses in New York or Burlington, New Jersey, while Asian orders are fulfilled directly from China for faster delivery. As we continue to grow, we are exploring the addition of more regional warehouses to further accelerate delivery and enhance the global customer experience.

At Messerforge, our mission is simple:
Sharpness you trust. Craftsmanship you feel.
