About Iron and Hammer - Vietnamese Craftsmanship Since Generations

Our Story

Welcome to Iron and Hammer, where centuries-old Vietnamese blacksmithing tradition meets modern culinary excellence. We are a family-run business dedicated to crafting premium handmade chef knives and supplying authentic Vietnamese rattan cane webbing to customers worldwide.

Our journey began in a traditional forging village in Vietnam, where master artisan Hoc Kieu inherited the ancient art of blacksmithing from his father. With decades of experience and a deep passion for knife-making, we create exceptional blades that are highly regarded by professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts around the globe.

We source only the finest materials - from high-carbon steel for superior sharpness to sustainably harvested rattan for eco-friendly furniture materials.
