Mother Mountain Forge is a knife making and metal working business based on the far south coast of NSW, Australia, run by Iain and Sarah Hamilton. They specialise in hand forged knives, Damascus steel and decorative blacksmithing
The workshop is open to the public where you can see the creation process. The workshop is generally open Wednesday through to Sunday from 10.00am to 3.00pm, but maybe give us a call if you want to make sure Iain is in the workshop. We also offer knife making, axe making and blacksmithing courses. Check our website course dates and details, or get in touch with us.
Everything you see in the gallery has been made by Iain, crafted from his own ideas and designs using traditional and non-traditional methods of blacksmithing.
Mother Mountain Forge aims to create unique, one of a kind pieces of art, whether they are blades, furniture or sculpture. No piece has an exact copy as this is not what they do.
Why the name Mother Mountain Forge?
Mount Gulaga (also known as Mount Dromedary) is the place of ancestral origin within the mythology of the Yuin people, the Indigenous Australians of the area. Gulaga itself symbolises the mother and is known as the Mother Mountain. She is the view from our forge and home.
