Vendor Spotlight Series: Buck Island Forge

Chris of Buck Island Forge has been selling his handcrafted knives at the Athens Farmers Market for the past two years. Each knife is forged by hand, reflecting a dedication to the kind of quality and artisanship that's increasingly rare in today's world. His EDC (everyday carry) and Hunter model knives are customer favorites, making them a great choice whether you're looking for a reliable daily companion or a capable tool for the outdoors. For Buck Island Forge, the market experience is just as much about the people as it is the product. Chris’s favorite part of every market day is simply meeting and talking to the folks who stop by his table. Come see his work for yourself and strike up a conversation!
