Red Pig Garden Tools is a small blacksmith shop that has hand-forged garden tools in Oregon since 1989 — one of the last makers still forging garden hand tools domestically. Owner-smith Bob Pauley and a couple of assistants work the tools from steel at the anvil, fit US-made hickory or ash handles, and rivet them with Midwest-made rivets. The shop separately resells a few Japanese tools it does not make; only its own forged line is covered here.

These handcrafted garden tools are stronger, sharper, and will last longer than any others you can buy, and they are made here in our workshop in Oregon.”
