Bladesmiths at the forge

About

Welcome to Acre

Acre started with a simple belief: good craftspeople deserve a good place to practice their craft.

That belief came to life in Acre Forge, a working production facility in North Portland’s St. Johns neighborhood where experienced makers share equipment, techniques, ideas, and a daily practice.

Each knife begins at the forge, but its story continues with you, the person who uses it through meals, adventures, sharpening, and care.
