Congratulations! You've found my "secret" page of adult toys and tools I make for the BDSM community.
I am happy to offer a variety of hand-forged products to my friends and neighbors in the BDSM lifestyle. Everything on offer here is of my own creation, my own labor, and made with the intention to elevate your experience with tools and toys that no mass-produced items can compete with.
Hand-forged iron is a unique sensory experience, and the things I make in my blacksmith's shop have found their way into many happy hands. As stated on the front page here by my friend and mentor Don Fogg, "Handmade things we revere. They're in our museums, our art galleries. Those are the objects that define our humanity. You see an object, and it attracts you to it. You hold an object and it changes you. It's palpable... the change is within you, but it occurs because you vibrate with that spirit, that energy, that the artist or craftsman put into the work. Sometimes it's not even beautiful, sometimes it's just right."
Having something that's "just right" in your toybag or play space can really elevate your experience, and I hope what you find here can find a home with you.
Hand-Forged Tools and toys
Most categories have items in stock, some are custom-order only to meet client's unique needs. Please contact me with questions and desires.
Dungeon Toys
Claws: My claws are made from 304 Stainless Steel, with laser-cut patterns, hand-trimmed and finished to shape. Textured claws are struck 1,000 times each to ensure a unique and beautiful hand-finished appearance. Each set is custom-fit to your hand, part of the experience and value. Sets are priced between $150-$250, depending on complexity and labor involved. Occasionally, single claws are available from a damaged set, which I offer at $30 apiece.
Body Stylus: Forged from carbon steel, these pieces are true multi-tools. Used to "draw" on skin for sensory play, they can also be mildly heated or chilled for temperature play. They can be used to play with pressure points, joint locks, or mild impact scenes. Each is finished on a wire wheel for luster and cleanliness. They are not insertion-safe, however, for external use only please. Prices typically range from $20-40, or more for the really chonky ones.
Hand-forged Knives: I often have a selection of hand-forged knives coming off the work bench. Hand-forged from carbon steel, these usually require more care than stainless steel blades, to prevent corrosion and preserve sharpness. Prices start at $150, please inquire about availability and care.
Forks and Pokers: Byproducts of my teaching, I often have a range of hand-forged forks and pokers available. Being steel, they are conductive and good for combining with electrical play (as are all my steel toys), and are crossovers from my camp cookware line (below). Prices from $10-$30.
Hand-forged Chain: If you desire something more dungeon-y than shiny hardware store chain, look no further. My hand-forged chain is assembled and forge-welded, link by link, to secure your fantasies in true medieval fashion. Price dependent on size and length of chain.
Collars: A hand-crafted collar is a thing of beauty. Whether you want a custom play collar, day-collar, or proper jewelry collar, I am happy to discuss your needs and work with a range of materials from carbon steel, stainless steel, or other decorative metals. Prices negotiable depending on order.
Shackles: For bondage play, hand-forged shackles can set the scene like nothing else. The weight of forged iron can elevate an experience to new heights, and are nearly indestructible. Prices negotiable depending on order.
Party Survival Kits: Protect your self with one of our essential kits for your toy bag. Each kit packs a pair of latex-free condoms, a pair of earplugs, unscented wet wipes, two drink covers, a single pack of two Advil, a single-use toothbrush with built-in paste, band-aids, and safety pins into a durable metal folding-lid tin for secure storage in your pocket or bag. Price: $15.
Dungeon Furniture
Bondage Chair: I love saving good chairs from the thrift stores, and re-purposing them for your enjoyment. My bondage chairs are carefully examined for stability and strengthened with glue and screws where needed, then modified with the addition of leather and Velcro straps for easy securing of a partner with quick-release convenience and safety in mind. Each chair comes with secure points for both wrists and both ankles, and customers may add their own belts, straps, or ropes for further securing of their partners. Prices typically range from $100-$200.
Web Wall: Measuring 4x8 feet, this device is fabricated and welded to provide a highly secure surface for use in any sort of bondage play. Each gap is approximately 8 inches square, providing a myriad of options for securing a partner, creating predicament postures, and even being suspended from appropriately rated hard-points in unusual postures without risk of breaking. Price: $500.
Cages: Forged and fabricated carbon steel cages can be ordered in a wide range of sizes and shapes. As a blacksmith, I can arrange any layout and size you desire, your imagination is the limit. The classic shapes of tall standing cages (or gibbet cages, if you like) and heavy-duty dog-crate style both work, but custom designs are also easily negotiated. Prices start at $400.
Spanking Bench: Forged from steel pipe and structural supports, these spanking benches are the very definition of "bomb proof". Pads are secured with T-bolts and covered with marine vinyl of the same quality as your favorite local dungeon. Price: $500.
Camp Cookware
Hand-forged Skillets: An instant family heirloom, these skillets are forged from carbon steel by hand to create a perfect cooking surface for home or at camp. Made to last several lifetimes, the long handles allow campfire cooking in comfort and safety, while the pans are seasoned for a non-stick experience. Perfect for use on any stovetop (including induction) or fire pit. Price: $150-200.
Hand-forged Ladles: Forged right alongside the pans, these ladles are made in 1/2 cup and 1-cup sizes with long handles for big cooking pots. The smaller ladles make excellent "egg spoons" as well, and serving large portions of soups, stews, chilis, or hot drinks is enhanced with one of these tools. Price: $75-$85.
Turning Forks: An entirely hand-forged fork made for campfire duty, these are forged to shape and sharpened before being seasoned like the rest of our food-ready cookware. Modeled after examples of Colonial American artifacts, they serve the campfire chef perfectly with long reach and useful curves. Price: $75.
Basic Forks: A more economic option, the basic fork is a blacksmithing class project, not as long as the turning fork, but still useful for a variety of jobs. Price ranges from $10-$20, depending on complexity. An optional support stand to transform the fork into a cooking spit is available for an additional $20.
Fire Pokers: Another blacksmithing class project, the fire poker is a useful tool for managing burning logs at camp, and should be part of every fire-pit kit. Price: $30.
Fire Irons and Hooks: The classic cowboy setup actually dates to the Viking Age, where twisted rods of steel set up as a tripod support your cooking pot of choice. These fire iron sets come with one bar finished in an eye, and two bars finished in hooks, to support several hanging pots at once as an alternative setup. Comes with two heavy duty hooks (long and short) Price: $100. Additional hooks available by order.
