Gage, John
"My first experience in the metal trades began at age 13, when I studied machining in Eastman Kodaks' Machinist explorer program. The program was run by my dad, a machinist by trade. In my late 20s and early 30s, I further developed my skills, exploring blacksmithing and metal arts while working full time jobs in the metals machining and manufacturing trades. In 2003, I was offered a position at Albion Swords, in New Glarus, WI. There, I quickly learned the way of the medieval sword. Working at Albion was an amazing experience. I was surrounded by talented craftsmen and artisans, such as Peter Johnsson and Jody Samson. Shortly after my experience there, I started working out of my own shop. I began exploring new ways to bring raw materials to life in a way that advanced my journey as a craftsman. I strive to produce the highest quality hand made blades and jewelry."
