Where craft meets tradition
Tucked in the Hill Country, Iron Grove Tool Co. is a small, family-owned blacksmith shop in Dripping Springs where every knife and tool begins as raw carbon steel and is shaped by hand using fire, hammer, and patience. The makers behind Iron Grove believe that a well-made tool is more than just functional, it’s a connection to craft, community, and timeless tradition.
What they offer
Each piece at Iron Grove is forged from premium materials like 52100 carbon steel, Damascus, and their own “Coppermascus” and “Bourbon Barrel” layered steels. The result is a line of knives and tools that are both durable and distinct, made to last a lifetime. Every item carries their performance guarantee: if it rusts, dulls, or breaks, they’ll restore or replace it, free, for life.
For those who want to experience the craft firsthand, Iron Grove also offers private and small-group forging classes. Sessions range from beginner blacksmithing and bladesmithing workshops to multi-day chef knife and cookware courses. Each class ends with something tangible and personal, your own hand-forged creation.
The experience
Stepping into Iron Grove feels like entering a working piece of history. Sparks fly, hammers ring, and the air carries the warmth of the forge. The team’s pride in their work is unmistakable, and visitors often leave not just with a tool, but with a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship done the old-fashioned way.
