NORTHERN CRESCENT IRON

Flat Rock, NC
Hand forged production and custom ironwork since 2002.

Our Journey

Northern Crescent Iron started the same way many of the great small companies that our nation is built upon have started. One man, in his garage, with a dream to make a living doing something that he loves.

Matt Waldrop, founder of Northern Crescent Iron, and the man with the dream to modernize blacksmithing and show the world the beautiful and artistic side of iron working, started our great company on it’s path in 2002.

Today, with a full line of knives and bottle openers from sleek and simple to elaborate and intricate, an extensive line of kitchen & bathroom hardware, beautifully designed railings and artwork and more, all made with revolutionary new tools and systems, his dream is being realized. Now our team continues to expand and grow while teaching and mentoring local youth to fulfill their dreams and keep the great art of blacksmithing alive.

Customer Reviews

I ordered a number of hand forged pulls for a restoration project in which I was involved and was more than pleased with the quality, style and solid detailing of everything… as well as the great service and helpful advice.

Matt at Northern Crescent Iron turns out top notch products. I’ve ordered dog ID tags, railroad spike knives, and bottle openers, and plan to order some cabinet furniture. Everything I’ve ordered so far has been perfect…

Couldn’t believe how great the customer service was! And the speed with which we received our custom railroad spike bottle openers was impressive. I know the groomsmen will LOVE their special gifts! Thanks again!
