My name is Jamie Boley and welcome to Polar Bear Forge. This is my personal website where I display my knives, as well as some of the other projects that I work on. You'll also find information about me and my philosophy about bladesmithing. 

First, I do everything that I can in the construction of my blades. I normally forge them to initial shape rather than use stock removal. Stainless and certain damascus patterns are the only exceptions. I do all of the shaping, sanding, heat treating, finishing, and sheathwork myself. 

Currently, my designs range from simple utility knives to bowie knives to scramasax influenced knives. The pictures in the gallery show a cross section of the work that I've done. If there's a design that you would like and you don't see it in the gallery, I can still make it. I will do custom orders of your design or mine. 

Check my calendar to find out where I've scheduled already. I'm going to add more events and shows to this calendar. If there is an event that I should add, please drop me an email. 

My Guarantee: 

I guarantee each knife that I make to be free of defects in workmanship for as long as I am capable of making knives. That guarantee does not include natural handles materials that may be affected by changes in climate. I will make every effort to stabilize those types of materials to reduce any changes. Knives are meant to be cutting tools, use as a pry bar, screwdriver, axe, hatchet, etc... will void the guarantee. There may be a fee if the damage is caused by abuse rather than use.
