Gabe Mabry is the maker behind Doberman Forge, a small blacksmith shop in Albemarle, North Carolina. Named after his loyal family dog, the forge reflects the same traits that define the breed—elegance, intelligence, attentiveness, and loyalty. Those same qualities are hammered into every blade Gabe creates. A true friend for life, each knife is unique and built to last.
Gabe is a recent winner of the prestigious competition Forged in Fire, a demanding test of skill and craftsmanship that few blacksmiths ever achieve.
His steel of choice is 80crv2, a low alloy tool steel similar in toughness to 5160 with added carbon for improved performance and edge retention comparable to 52100. The hardness on this knife is 61.5 HRC.
These one-of-a-kind knives are in very limited supply, so if you want one, act quickly before they are gone.Brand: Doberman Forge
