Anthony Piccirillo, retired NYPD officer, became interested in making knives after Forged In Fire aired on TV in 2015. He immediately signed up for local classes on How to Forge for Beginners and set up an anvil with basic materials in his garage.

He then continued his education through other accredited metal worker organizations and grew his forge to hold other pieces of equipment to enhance his bladesmithing skills.

Anthony's main creations are utility, pairing and chef knives. He makes custom knives per order. You choose the handle material, color, type of steel blade and he creates it.
