Raised to be a Creative Thinker…
I was raised by a man who did not know the word can't. He was a small businessman who always had to build or make what he needed to get through the day. He was a blacksmith, fabricator, mechanic and overall jack of all trades.
I am my father's son ;) I' am that guy who can not sit still. I am going from the time I get up until I go to bed. I am that guy who has always worked more than one job at a time, and sometimes up to 3.
With age, comes some wisdom, and also the need to slow down. I decided to stop working so many jobs and began doing things that I enjoy, and being a blacksmith is one of them! I have a newly built gas forge and a workable anvil. This then gives me the opportunity to spend my time being creative.
I am a currently a part-time smithy. I hope that you love everything I have designed and created by hand, and decide to place an order! You can trust I will back up all of my work, and get it out to you in a timely manner.
If you have a question ask, and I will be quick to reply.

Alvin got your msg and I know that I sent two reviews, but I guess I you didn't get them. I was well pleased with the knife you made me. It was more than I expected. Great workmen ship and it was just as I wanted. You will be my first choice when I have another one made. Again thanks for a job well done. Take care Jack

For Custom Railroad Spike KnivesThe process was so good and the knife itself looks great. Alvin emailed pictures as the knife was being made - it was great to see the knife being shaped and I shared these pictures with the person I gifted the knife to - they loved to see this too. Excellent service and updates along the way and fab product. A one of a kind product and gift - making it super special. Highly recommend.

For Hand Forged Viking Bind Rune Necklace/Charms/AmuletEverything was perfect!! Great seller and craftsman. My only suggestion I would like to see is rune necklace possibly coming on metal necklace instead of just leather

For Skinner Knife With Gut HookWe ordered a Skinner knife with a Gut hook from Alvin Coffee for our son-in-law. The entire process was completed in a timely manner. The communication was great between us and the maker. He informed me of his progress every step of the way. Received a beautiful knife, just what we were looking for. And remember, BUY FROM AN AMERICAN CRAFTSMAN! Again, thank you Alvin Coffee!
