Welcome to Fogarty Knives!
I'm Chuck Fogarty and I am Fogarty Knives. Its 2011 and Ive been making handmade knives for 11 years in the beautiful mountains of Red Hill, NC. Knifemaking in general, and bladesmithing in particular,connect me with our pre-industrial past and open windows of history for me that I would never be able to experience otherwise. It also allows me to work with my hands making functional using tools and works of art which will outlast me by a considerable time.
Im disabled, and here lately getting worse, so I don't produce a whole lot, usually about 8-10 knives a year is my average. I sell or trade some of what I do make, so check back once in a while, I may just have something that is waiting for a home. I dont usually take orders or do custom work at all, but if you have something you are looking for let me know and if I find it interesting as a project I will put it on my list. I'm ill a lot of the time and I work sometimes VERY slowly, so I prefer to work on what I enjoy doing. This year I am probably going to be mostly working on Japanese style knives.
I havent updated a lot of these pages in a while and Im hoping to correct that in this new year.
