Chandler Ball, blacksmith and owner of Blackfrost Forge, has been creating things by hand as long as he can remember. He first began flintknapping around age 11, creating arrowheads and stone tools by hand. Through the years, he began working on some small blacksmithing projects as a hobby. In 2015, he began selling some of his flintknapping work online. His business initially began with selling one-of-a-kind stone knives to collectors, and eventually, he found himself taking on custom projects and even selling some of his work to film studios for TV and movie props. In 2024, he officially branched into blacksmithing as a business and started selling his first hand-forged products. In early 2026, he officially change his shop name to Blackfrost Forge.
