Isaac Gardner

Bladesmith, Blacksmith, Jeweler, Sculptor

Forged in Fire Champion

Isaac grew up with a lot of time on his hands. He spent much of that time watching his Grandpa tinker with engines, go-carts, tractors and other welding projects. Through his Grandpa, Isaac acquired a love of problem solving and metal working.

Isaac always wanted to be an artist and a series of rabbit holes soon lead Isaac to blacksmithing and bladesmithing. Out of a desire to elevate the detail and beauty of his work, Isaac learned silversmithing, gold smithing, and stone setting. He taught himself hand engraving, and is currently on the path to becoming a commercial pilot 

In 2017, Isaac sold his first knife.

In 2018, Isaac got married and started working at Belliston Jewelry as a Bench Jeweler.

In 2020, Isaac joined the American Bladesmiths Society and, when the time is right, he has goals of earning his Journeyman Smith and Master Smith ranks.

In 2021, Isaac competed on the History Channel's Forged in Fire bladesmithing show; and won the coveted title of Forged in Fire Champion (Season 8, Episode 19)!

Isaac lives in Brigham City, Utah with his wife and kids.
