Peyton Ramm is a winner ... several times over!

After using the forge, the anvil and giant hammer multiple times, Peyton checks to make sure the blade on this red-hot piece of steel is exactly straight! He’s even fashioned his own tools to help hold onto the blades during the many steps of creativity. Photo by Laura Vroman

One of his most recent awards, Peyton Ramm won the Best Custom Hunter at the custom blade show in Salt Lake City, UT.

Peyton is fashioning a blade from steel; the red-hot tip is shaped using a simple hammer, with the outline drawn on his anvil.

This intricately designed knife includes scrimshaw on the handle, gold inlay, and images from a childhood favorite Dragon Ball. Photos by Laura Vroman
