Even MORE Efficient Baker Forge, Bulgarian 350 is BACK & Will is Leaving! TFN
We’ve been on a warming trend the last couple of weeks, but no complaints here. The random 70 degrees and sunny days are a welcome sensation after what has been a respectable Appalachian winter in our little holler.

Happy Friday Makers!
It was a slightly unusual week for our marketing as we opted to push the drop schedule one week in an effort to afford the manufacturing team some “catch-up” time. Since we dropped the Core Line last month ya’ll have had us swamped with orders.

End-Cuts Gone in Seconds, Blade Show ATL Insider-Details! TFN
Our work-week kicked off with a BIG batch of Damascus, Coppermascus, and Stainless end-cut boxes being added to BakerForge.com. Jay offered the marketing team dibs on when/where to announce the release before accidentally making them available and prompting an automatic push notification to app-users. Although robbing us of the chance to let people know of the drop on socials, the situation did encourage us to remind customers– download the Baker app and accept push notificat

Keeping Up with the Core Line & Boss-Man Headed to Indiana! TFN

We made a BIG batch for you guys and it’s all still available on the site! So, before I dive into the week’s events here’s your chance to flip over to BakerForge.com/shop and snag a bar of Inferno while they last!

Parking Lot Skate-Rink, Name-Dropping & the BADDEST “test blade” Ever! TFNMain:
Well, we were promised a storm of some significance and when we got up Monday for work we were not disappointed. Although the snow levels were over estimated, the late news it might be more of an ice-storm proved true.

Storm of the Decade, NEW Stainless Layout, Mystery Bar GAW Winner! TFN
Ah, it’s good to be back!
The time away for the holidays was restful, but there’s something to be said for a company you truly look forward to returning to work with. Even after the extended time off, it seemed like the staff had an excited and thankful vibe walking back into work on Monday. With the Christmas holiday behind us, it’s time to put our heads down and get some real work done, as I imagine many of you are.

BIGGEST Sale of the Year, Last Week’s Action, & A HUGE 'Thank You’ TFN
Happy (late) Thanksgiving, Makers!The last two weeks of Black Friday craziness had us in a full daze. The funniest thing about these promotions is all that filming, marketing, and order-packing still takes place adjacent to the regular custom and retail production of steel that Jay and the team embark on each and every work week. Safe to say every single employee was running at full-steam pretty much all week last week, and again to start off the short holiday week.

Tobin Visits from Austria, Shop Heater Season, and MORE Stainless Damascus! TFN
Happy Friday, folks!
It’s been a cooler week around Baker HQ as the temps around our little Appalachian community dip into the 20s for the first time this season. Jay even kicked on the shop heater a few times this week while the forges weren’t in use– surely a sign of the cold for this group of hardworking mountain blacksmiths.
