Who We Are
Join or Die has transformed our passion for craftsmanship and connection into a community shop that has become a hub for knife makers all over the region. From the production line and one of a kind custom pieces to knife making classes, we are building the dream the Hardway.
Welcome to the Forge
The Join or Die knife shop is located in the heart of Richmond Virginia. Brent Stubblefield leads a team of knife makers focused on creating unique, handmade blades. Our community shop The Hardway hosts other knife makers as well as classes in knife making and forging.
