The Workshop
Bramble & Forge has run out of the same Gloucestershire forge since 1962. We still quench in the same trough, and we still guarantee every head against breakage for the life of the handle.
Every piece leaves the workshop with a hand-stamped reference number. Bring it back in fifty years and we'll service it free of charge.
Get in touchFrom the workshop
Forging aligns the steel's grain structure along the tool's stress lines — cast or stamped steel can't match it for longevity.
Every head is guaranteed against breakage for the life of the original handle. We mean it — we've honoured claims on 40-year-old spades.
Handles, wedges and rivets are all standard stock. Any good workshop — or ours, free of charge — can service a Bramble & Forge tool.
