Bad Llama Forge is run by Steve Cornelsen out of Caledon, Ontario, Canada.
Bad Llama Forge primarily focuses on knives—kitchen knives especially, with a strong pull toward Japanese-style blades. Steve pays close attention to geometry, balance, and a refined edge. He works with chefs to build tools that hold up in a working kitchen, whether that’s a restaurant or someone’s home —built to cut well and feel comfortable in the hand.
Steve also works directly with some WATL and IATF throwers to forge axes that meet current league specs. He’s a certified WATL judge himself, so he knows exactly what an axe needs to pass regulation—whether it’s headed for a competition or just out with you in the woods.

About the Llama
There is a Llama on site. His name is Llouie.
He likes to go inside the workshop, he does not take “no” for an answer, he has an attitude. He is a bad llama. A nice bad llama.
