Anyone here own or heard of Hoffman Blacksmithing? I've followed this young man on Instagram for awhile now and have been wanting to purchase one of his axes. I must admit I have a hard time justifying paying a few hundred bucks for an axe, but I want one.

If you're unfamiliar with him here's his website...

I have no affiliation with him, just admire his work and work ethic.

If you want one, that's all the justification you need.

You aren't going to find a hand forged axe for cheap.

Liam is a highly talented blacksmith. He makes good stuff, buy with confidence.

He's in Newland, less than an hour from me. I never heard of him til about a year ago, but he does make some nice stuff.

Whoa. If he’s putting out that kind of quality at 22 wait till he really masters the craft.

Lots of good things said about him on Blade Forums. His work is first class, I like that he gets professional photos done, too.

Looks like very nice work.

Nice workmanship. It's refreshing to see a young man with his talents using old school technology these days.

Anyone know the story behind his logo?

Well, it’s an L and an H, and the guy’s name is Liam Hoffman. I’m guessing it’s his initials.

If the only words coming from my mouth are a continuous Oh man, am I still speech less ? Those are the most beautiful cutting tools I've lived to see.

He was a forged in fire winner. He is good for sure.
