OUR MISSION

SOME PROBLEMS IN THE FIELD ARE SO FAMILIAR,
NOBODY QUESTIONS THEM ANYMORE. WE DO.

That’s where BlackForestForge, a 3D printed hunting accessories
brand made in the USA, comes from.

We hunt for the food on our table, for the stillness of an early morning in the woods, for the connection to nature that’s hard to find anywhere else, for conservation, and for the pride of a hard-earned trophy on the wall. Whatever pulls you out there, we get it, because we feel all of it too.

Whatever drives you into the woods, we build our accessories to take the hassle out of it – so you can focus on the reason you showed up. That stubbornness to get it right is what started BlackForestForge, and it’s what still drives every product we make

OUR MISSION

HUNTING ACCESSORIES THAT
TAKE THE HASSLE OUT OF
IT //

BlackForestForge was built from the field, influenced by people who spend their time as much as possible in the woods and on the water.
Every product we make started as a problem we ran into ourselves because we don’t just sell hunting and fishing accessories. We live this life.

MEET THE OWNER

WHO'S BEHIND THIS

My name is Saskia. I run BlackForestForge, and I come at this lifestyle from a specific angle. I’m a homemaker and mom of two, and I keep this whole operation running at home. The kitchen, the garden, the livestock, the preserving. Our family lives as close to the land as we can, and that’s not a weekend thing – it’s every day.
The people who influence every product I make are the serious hunters in our lives. Saddle hunters, turkey hunters, people with real hours in the field. I hear every complaint, every workaround, every “why doesn’t anyone just make one that does this” and I build from that.

I see this world from every angle. And when
something keeps coming up, we fix it.

THE NAME

WHY BLACKFORESTFORGE //

BlackForestForge gets its name from two things that define this brand. I grew up in the foothills of the Black Forest in Germany, with a deep connection to nature and a way of life rooted in the land that I’ve carried with me ever since. And Forge? It’s not hammer and anvil. It’s the same idea, taking raw materials and building something better. We just do it with modern technology instead of fire and metal.

HOW WE STARTED

BUILT FROM THE FIELD //

BlackForestForge came out of real life – from the people around us who hunt hard, fish seriously, and don’t have patience for products that don’t hold up when it matters. We’re not a corporation that spotted a market. We’re a family and a community of hunters and anglers rooted in Eastern North Carolina, where whitetail, black bear, waterfowl, and turkey are part of the rhythm of life. We fill our freezer every season, we’re out there in all weather, and we kept running into the same problems with the gear that existed. So we started solving them.

THE LINE

WHAT WE MAKE //

We started with saddle hunting accessories – hooks, bow hangers, and the small things that make time in the tree more efficient and less frustrating. From there came the STRUTLOCK line, built for turkey hunters who want to properly mount and display a fan, or get that perfect photo after a hard-earned hunt. Every product started as a real need. Most of them came from someone in our circle saying “there has to be a better way to do this.” There usually is.

MADE IN THE USA

HOW WE BUILD

Every 3D printed hunting accessory we make is precision manufactured right here in the USA – designed, tested, and produced in Eastern North Carolina. We use 3D printing technology because it lets us build exactly what the design calls for, iterate fast based on real feedback, and keep production close to home without compromising on quality.

NO OVERSEAS FACTORIES. NO MIDDLEMEN. JUST A PROBLEM, A SOLUTION, AND THE STUBBORNNESS TO GET IT RIGHT.

WHAT DRIVES US
The early morning stillness. The freezer full at the end of the season. The smell of cuts dry aging in the pantry. The pride of doing it right. The connection to something that’s genuinely hard to find anywhere else. Whatever pulls you out there – we get it.
BlackForestForge exists to take the hassle out of the gear, so you can focus on the reason you showed up.
