The Maker

Ryan Fogarty is the founder and blacksmith behind Leechtown Blacksmith Co. He crafts hand-forged cookware, from carbon steel pans to steak knives and oyster shuckers. Ryan calls Sooke, British Columbia home, and the name Leechtown Blacksmith Co. is an ode to his hometown. Leechtown was a goldrush boomtown in the 1800’s just outside of Sooke.

Ryan has been chasing sparks for over 20 years. From welding in oil and gas, to working in shipyards, building breweries, teaching high school metal shop, and working for NATO. One fateful day around Christmas time several years back, Ryan decided to gift himself an anvil, and he started learning the art of blacksmithing. He’s excelled in his craft and all the items he creates are one-of-a-kind. He’ll draw from his surroundings or make custom pieces that incorporate wild elements offered up from the land.

The Material

Proof that doing things the old-fashioned way can be the right way, Leechtown Blacksmith's hand-forged cookware, and knives are the stuff of legend. These artfully crafted pieces are made for indoor and outdoor cooking and built to be passed on through generations.
