Journeyman Smith Jordan Lamothe at his forgeJordan LaMothe makes all manner of knives, daggers, and swords at is workshop in Hebron, NY. He was a champion on History Channel's Forged in Fire, creating a curved Talwar saber. At 22 years old, in June 2018, became an American Bladesmith Society Journeyman Smith.

Jordan began his journey when he was 15 years old, by taking a blacksmithing workshop at Salem Art Works. He instantly fell in love with the process of shaping steel with heat and hammer and quickly pieced together the tools to create his own blacksmith’s shop. Working in the forge isn’t LaMothe’s only skill, though. Jordan, who is a saxophonist, received a BA in Music from Williams College in 2017.

Lamothe forges his knives in an old barn on his family’s farm, where he and his four siblings till the fields. His studio mate, an amber and black horse, has got used to the loud bang of hammers and woosh of fire. The image of Lamothe working could easily be set centuries earlier. It is a throwback to a simpler time. Bags of coal, which he uses to fuel his forge are stacked next to the tools he has created for his craft.

LaMothe’s skill at the forge is clearly evidient in his exquisite knives. He has a particularly good understanding of chef's knives. He has the touch, the eye, and the patience to make certain each knife is just what he wants it to be.
