  • Few things I cherish more in life than a good knife at my side, my walnut & epoxy handle EDC is a beauty. Feels amazing in the hand and the craftsmanship is superb. Cody is no doubt a rising star maker with endless potential.

  • "Cody commissioned a stunning knife for me that I have been asked countless times where I purchased. I gave him several specifications, and he ran with it from design to fabrication to craft a kukri style knife with a personal flare. The knife is not only eye-catching but also durable and has served as my go-to camping utensil since. Even after several trials chopping kindling for fire starting, the knife has stayed sharp enough to slice a steak like butter. The knife is well balanced and Cody was great to work with through the design process."

  • "Cody Csontos, “C2 Forge”, handcrafted for me a Damascus knife with a raindrop pattern, perfectly dyed and stabilized in a striking Birdseye maple and adorned with red g10 pins and liners. To the touch, this knife has the feel of a finely fitted velvet glove. Its finish is smooth, and the weight is balanced. The sheen invites the eye to follow the sleek lines from the rounded butt-end to the very sharp distal carbon steel blades point. Cody has hand crafted, not just a knife, but something akin to a piece of art. Beautiful to look at and a pleasure to feel the smooth rounded handle nestled in the palm of the hand. Thank you, Cody, for forging such a wonderful instrument."

  • "A stunning piece for the one who carries Phoenix fire in their soul. With its sleek expressive blade and slick smoldering handle, it is evident that C2 has Hephaestus's blessing of the forge."

  • "I was lucky enough to purchase this knife as a gift. The blade itself is sharp and sleek, and the beautiful box elder burl handle makes this piece aesthetically pleasing. Extremely satisfied and hope to purchase more pieces from Cody in the future."

  • "My wife bought me a fillet knife for my birthday and I love it! Cody is very detailed and really cares about making a good quality knife. He even reached out to me to make sure I liked it. I have filleted many walleye, perch, and bass with it and it is still as sharp as the day I bought it. I would recommend him to anyone! "

  • "Cody made us a kitchen knife, which we love. It’s very comfortable in the hand and sharpens to a razors edge. Just a quick wipe and dry after use then back on the magnetic strip. This knife has become our workhorse. I can shave eye round to a perfect 1/8” strip. "

  • Cody made a beautiful fixed EDC knife for me. His craftsmanship and care he put into my knife made it what it is, amazing. My knife is not to light, not to heavy it’s just perfect. The handle he made to fit my hand (a rather large one) just right and he made it out of beautiful black and blue micarta. I highly recommend C2Forge and plan on commissioning a kitchen knife next.
