3rd Hill Customs represents the artisanal work of Tre’ Hill, a skilled blacksmith and bladesmith based in Atlanta, Georgia. Hill crafts exceptional, high-performance kitchen knives from his personal forge using select steels such as Damasteel and Shirogami #2, marked by distinctive blade geometry and aesthetics. His knives are distinguished by signature wa-style handles, meticulously shaped to a slender ferrule that are often constructed with stabilized hardwoods like curly ash or bog oak or artistic resins. These blades showcase a sophisticated fusion of robust American hand-forging heritage and elegant design, crafted specifically for experts who prioritize both high functionality and exceptional artistry.
