Meet Our Blade Smith
Vincent Silva entered Active-Duty Service in the United States Army in July 1992 and retired in July of 2022. Among the many schools attended, Vincent is a proud graduate of the Army's Sapper Leader Course, hence the name, Iron Sapper Forge.
He started blacksmithing in November of 2019 and later made the acquaintance of Mr. Rob Duane at Healing flames Forge, a Non-Profit Organization that fosters blacksmithing techniques for Soldiers and First Responders.
After several years of honing skills and techniques, Vincent and Stacey started Iron Sapper Forge in November of 2023.
