Howdy, I'm Tanner

Tanner&Alexandra-Day2_135.jpeg

I am an artisan who forges in memory of those who dared to head west and of those who dared to push back. 

 

Let them never be forgotten. 

​

Some say America has no culture, but I beg to differ. The most beautiful country in the world is seen in the wild west with the bravest warriors known to man, with trappers and hunters from east daring to push into the unknown. Throughout the world people are enamored by America's native warriors and the tall tails of the trappers who ventured beyond the known world. 

 

With each piece I craft, I desire to tell a story in honor of the rich history of the wild western frontier.

 

Now, let me tell you a story...

a little more, for those curious

Turtle Creek Forge started in 2012 when my brother and I saw other knife makers and thought "we can do that too."

​

As a 5th generation Coloradan, I have lived in Greeley my whole life, and it is where TCF is based.

 

In 2023, I married the love of my life and we are expecting a wee one this July.
