Sneak Preview of New Baker Apparel & Gator Piss Heavy & MAX Fulfillment Dates Revealed! TFN

Happy May, Makers! Another winter season has come and gone. Even up here in the Appalachian Mountains we are fully into the open-garage door season and we couldn’t be happier to welcome the spring weather.

Blacksmith Will Spears was back at work this week after his journeysmith test, which meant our production crew was once again whole, each member in his position and the entire team working in flow. A flow that went otherwise undisturbed for the entire week until mid-morning Wednesday when the Blachard grinder cried out for some attention. Together as a team nonetheless, we got the beast broken down, cleaned out and reassembled before lunch. One of those fortunately easy issues to address in a world of old, often dying machines to tend to. As part of our preparations for the launch of Gator Piss Heavy and MAX we addressed our in house production process, planning several upgrades to more efficiently fulfill orders for our now three-product line of Gator Piss etchants. Having finalized that system over the week, we’re thrilled to announce we will begin fulfillment of pre-orders beginning on the back-end of next week. Ahead of schedule and stoked to get the products into your hands, we’re considering this launch a tremendous success and hope your results back up that sentiment! 

If you’re one of our international customers waiting for your chance to snag Gator Piss

Heavy or MAX, good news– expect to see your regional distributor dropping BOTH formulas in the coming weeks! To find a list of international distributors, go to GatorPiss.Shop/howtobuy

Don’t forget– Gator Piss Co-Creator, Greyson Weltyk and Test Blade Maker, Jordon Berthelot will be hosting a LIVE etch class at Blade Show Atlanta in June. As part of the class the two will take you through live etch demonstrations as well as sharing all the ins-and-outs of these three cutting edge products. Additionally they’ll tease future Gator Piss concepts, take questions, and MAYBE even reveal our newest Gator Piss Product. Class tickets can be purchased with official Blade Show entrance at BladeShow.com

Inside the Media

Waylon and I wrapped up our promotional swag ahead of Blade Show this week! Last year we dropped the “Forged Essentials” t-shirt featuring the tools of our trade in a sick hand-drawn graphic. This year we’ve leveled up, challenging ourselves for unique takes on both the Baker Forge brand and our expanding Gator Piss line. The results are a BUNCH of unique and creative stickers for the passing fan, and a new apparel drop for BOTH Gator Piss and Baker Forge. All set to drop at Blade Show Atlanta! Drop by our booth (#1149) in June and grab yours. For those of you who won’t be joining us- stay tuned for a web-drop shortly following. 

In the meantime, enjoy this little preview from the front-pocket area of our “American Steel” design….

Sneak Peek 👀

This weekend, we’re switching gears with an exciting drop of Twist Damascus, a standout layout Coy’s thrilled to share. Unlike our usual copper-heavy offerings, this batch focuses on a unique layering of 1084 and 15N20, twisted to create a striking braided rope-like pattern that sets it apart from standard twists. Surface-ground and meticulously crafted, Coy calls it some of the best twist we’ve ever made at Baker Forge. With a full batch ready, you can grab yours early on the Baker Forge App Friday for the best selection or join the full release Saturday at 8pm EST.
