Atlas Bladesmith Forge - All Stainless Forge for Knifemaking

Started out great, got to welding temps quick. Followed the user instructions to a T but now forge doesn't get nearly as hot. Cleaned out burner tube, made sure everything was free and clear of any debris (instructions stated that the tube was very attractive to spiderwebs..) and still won't reach welding temps.

I like the forge. It came cracked all over inside and I had to send it back. The base was bent a bit. I would give this product a C+. When I buy something new I expect it to be perfect. I would say this product is like a hobby level product in quality. It will forge and work, it’s just got some problems due to shipping and design.

Works well just starting out and it gets really hot very well constructed

Honestly, not impressed at all. It was a pain to get working and there's a gap where the burner goes in that I'll have to fill with something. The forge is twice as long as necessary because the burner is only strong enough to heat up the front 1/3rd. The hose was leaky, the satanite was a joke and doesn't even mix into the water. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something but I wanted an upgrade from my 80 dollar china special forge and ended up downgrading. I'm still gonna mess with it a bit but from what I'm seeing now there's no possible way this thing is getting up to forge welding Temps either. I'd say as far as a forge goes...it's capable of heating steel and that's about all the praise I can give it so far. Updated: stopped working complete after 15 minutes. Seller was no help. Liner is also cracking allready after switching burners and using for another half hour. I would stay away personally. Wish I just made my own, live and learn I suppose. Also if you push your blade too far into the forge you'll need needle nose pliers to get it out because the forge is so tiny. It does a good job of conserving propane though due to the small diameter. Update: After some research I'm pretty sure they get their burners from good Ole chinama. Same exact burner I received can be found on Amazon now for 40 bucks rather than what was advertised on the picture when I bought it. They claimed they've " updated" we all know how that goes.

Forge arrived with a damaged base. Have not had a chance to fire it up yet. Base damage will likely not affect function

Great little forge. Just starting out and needed something that was quality built and even if I go bigger later would be useful and this fit the bill. Works great.

Didn't dislike anything. Forged a small knife as soon as I got it ready. Heats fast, perfect for what I'm doing.

Too small$300 junk in a box returned didn’t even open . Box was so small no way a decent forge would be shipped that way. Maybe if you want to forge a paper clip it would be nice.
