Michael Bergfalk

For twenty-five years, Michael Bergfalk has been the people's tattooer — bold, balanced work made to last a lifetime. The blades come from the same hands, and the same conviction.

He came up tattooing — Japanese Traditional and Western Traditional — starting in Albuquerque, then Phoenix, before settling near the Great Salt Lake. Colorado originality, carried everywhere he went. The maker of the indelible mark.

The forge started the way a lot of good things do: as something to do with his hands when the needles were down. It turned into a second craft built on the same rules — strong lines, honest material, nothing that won't hold up. A blade, like a good tattoo, is supposed to outlast the person who made it.

Today every Bergfalk blade is forged, ground, and finished by him alone in a one-man garage shop. No production line, no two alike. Just steel, fire, and the M/B mark.

How a blade is made

Steel, fire, and a lot of patience

Every knife travels the same six stages — from a cold bar of steel to a signed, sharpened blade on the stump. No shortcuts, because the shortcuts are exactly what you'd feel later.

Shipping

Flat $18 insured shipping in the US. In-stock blades go out in 3–5 business days. Local pickup available near the Great Salt Lake.

Blade care

Hand-wash and dry every time. Carbon steel will patina — keep it dry and oiled. Never the dishwasher, never left in the sink.
