oken Forge started out in 1978 as a small 10'x10' shack in Lincoln, Nebraska, with one anvil, one small coal forge, and a few old tools. Today, Ron and John Loken enjoy a unique father and son relationship that revolves around fine craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Using traditional methods for forming and joining steel and iron, Loken Forge creates beautiful forged ironwork that is highly sought throughout the United States.

Tables, fences, gates, stair railings, window grills, chandeliers, candle stands, door pulls and sculptural work are but a brief cross section of what Loken Forge is capable of producing.

Church, residential, and architectural pieces occupy a high percentage of work accomplished by the forge, however private commissions are welcome and are accepted on a regular basis.

"Good blacksmithing isn't work,
it's a privilege and a way of life."
