Chris Gross- Blacksmith

Chris is a Wisconsin native and has worked over thirty years as a chemist in various areas, including environmental, analytical, and metallurgical chemistry. He started forging about six years ago with the intent of making knives, but fell in love with the craft of blacksmithing as a whole. He enjoys the raw, primeval aspect of forging hot steel, as well as using repurposed materials to create new things that others can use and enjoy. He also loves hunting, cycling, playing hockey, and fishing.
