About me

With my work I want to preserve the blacksmith craft with a modern twist. I hope this site will spark your imagination and give you some new ideas of what can be created. A personal touch in any project can also make a great gift for someone you care about.

My work is my passion!  I am proud of all the experience I have gained in different projects, reviving ideas together with my customers. I believe that anything can be done and I love projects that others are afraid of, making them a challenge. I am also one of the founding members of the Slovenian blacksmith lodge.

    Welding

    I wouldn't be able to design some unique projects without the skill of welding. But take note, some mix it too often with forging.

    I also took part in forging course with Tomaž and I can give only compliments. I was especially impressed by his professionalism and eagerness to help. The course is perfectly designed and organized. Tomaž is ready to share his rich knowledge and experience in this field and answer all my questions. I highly recommend it.

    A blacksmith that turns imagination into reality. I haven't seen a project he couldn't handle yet. The quality of the knives is amazing. Have to be careful with the sharp edges around my fingers.

    The course itself surprised me, despite the fact that I am wathcing many YouTube channels on the forging topic, I learned many new things. The course was performed perfectly, one on one, so that the master could dedicate himself to me hundred percent. Safety was provided with lectures and, of course, safety equipment. I definitely recommend the course to anyone who likes to create something with their own hands. You will not be disappointed.

    I have a lot of Tomaž's products, and they're all really high quality that seems it will last for a long time. I'm especially happy with his custom made knives. The handle of the kitchen knives fits perfectly into my arm and I enjoy cooking much more since I have them.

    The experience and knowledge I have gained from making my (Celtic) knife are simply priceless and unique. We were two students in the forging course. Mr. Tomaž gave us a lot of theoretical knowledge, but I have to admit that it is a bit longer than we had imagined, from theory to practice. Thanks to Mr. Tomaž, who guided and advised us throughout the whole process selflessly and above all with nerves of steel, we have a knife of which I am very proud.
