my story
My name is Dalibor Trkulja. I was born in 1984, and I work and live in Indjija, Serbia. I started forging and manufacturing blades as a hobby in 2014. Today, my hobby has grown into a fully equipped blacksmith shop, able to meet all customer requirements.
My workshop produces unique handmade blades in the old traditional way, by forging in a blacksmith's fire. Blades are mostly made from Damascus steel, a material produced by joining two types of steel through forging and forge welding, creating visible patterns on the finished product.
I use only new stainless and carbon steels for blades. For Damascus steel, a combination of 1084 and 15N20 steel is used, while stainless blades are made from Bohler N690 steel. Handles are made from various types of locally available wood, exotic wood, deer antlers, as well as other materials requested by the client. For my products, I also make sheaths from the highest quality leather.
I also make hatchets, belt buckles, bottle openers, as well as all other items requested by clients.
