Hammer + Tine Creates One-of-a Kind Works of Art, Yet Functional Tools From Leather and Steel

Want a one-of-a-kind gift for your loved one? How about something that is a beautiful work of art as well as a functional tool? You will want to get to know Hammer + Tine!

Based in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley in western Montana, Dan created Hammer & Tine to satisfy his desire to create tools that are functional works of art; they are intended to be used and admired. He is an avid outdoorsman with a culinary background. He takes advantage of many local, natural materials and gets design inspiration from their unique features. Therefore, no two pieces are exactly the same.

Dan hand forges blades out of O1 tool steel for various types of knives - from field and hunting knives to culinary and cheese knives. He also hand-forges other metal goods such as bottle openers.

In addition to hand-forged knives and metalwork, Dan and Kestrel make leather goods such as purses, totes, Dopp kits, cosmetics bags, wallets, keychains, and coasters, to name a few. We use Italian or American-tanned leather for all of our leather goods, and we sew with a Cobra Class 3 leather sewing machine and bonded nylon thread.

My kiddo wanted a hat that was designed just for them of one of their favorite places on earth - Transylvania County, NC - especially Brevard where their dad is from. They designed it and sent it to Hammer + Tine and the results were ah-mazing! They love their hat so much. Hammer + Tine also sent a handmade leather bi-fold wallet that my kiddo quickly confiscated and claimed as their own. Hammer + Tine could not have a happier customer than my Ian!

All Hammer + Tine products are handcrafted with care and attention to detail by the two of them. They don’t outsource any of the work and take pride in their products' quality. They welcome custom orders on a limited basis. However, because only two of them are in the shop, there is often a waitlist.
