Leechtown Blacksmith Co.

Leechtown Blacksmith Co.

As a guest at Nimmo Bay, you get to experience using one of Leechtown Blacksmith Co.'s uniquely crafted steak knives in our restaurant Little River. From foraging knives used to collect mushrooms, to carbon steel pans taking heat in the kitchen, these products are embedded into the culture of Nimmo Bay. 

“I’ve got some obsidian that was found on a beach here. I’ve got bear teeth from here. I think we’re sourcing some orca teeth that Fraser’s had and I just make sure everything has a story.”

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. Read more about his journey and inspiration here.

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.
