Hand Forged Knives & Tools

Every tool has a story, and yours starts at the anvil. Hester’s Hollow is a veteran-operated smithery dedicated to the making products we can stand behind for the years to come. We’ve stripped down to bring you specialty tools that won't fail when the pavement ends.

We have moved away from standardized models to focus on individual craftsmanship. Every knife and heirloom woodcraft is built as a unique piece and placed in our storefront as it comes off the bench. If the current stock doesn't fit your specific needs, we accept custom specialty orders through the submission form below.

About
our company

Veteran-Owned. Machinist-Built. One of a Kind. Founded by Aaron Hester—former 82nd Airborne line medic turned machinist and blacksmith—Hester’s Hollow is the evolution of six years at the forge. We’ve retired the catalogs and standardized models of our Delta 13 beginnings to focus on singular, hand-fitted builds. Durable, dependable tools that value comfort and dexterity as much as aesthetics.
