01Azazel Metals and Defense
Metals and Defense
Steel, forged blades and protective armor, made to a standard older than the industry.
The first thing anyone asked us for was an edge.
Azazel Metals and Defense is the oldest company in the group and still the largest by tonnage. It forges blades, presses armor and refines the specialty steel that the other two companies depend on.
Our customers include armed forces, police and protective services, professional kitchens and private collectors. Some of those accounts are older than anyone now working on them.
What we make
Five lines from one forge.
- 01
Swords
Dress, ceremonial and presentation swords for academies, honor guards and private collections. One maker forges, grinds and finishes each blade.
- 02
Knives
Service, field and professional kitchen knives. The steel, the heat treatment and the edge are the same whether the knife goes to a soldier or a line cook.
- 03
Shields
Ballistic and riot shields for police and protective services, balanced to be carried for a full shift.
- 04
Breastplates
Hard armor plates and carriers. Most of our customers call them plates. A few of our oldest still call them breastplates.
- 05
Metals
Specialty steel and alloys, refined and worked in-house. We know where the metal is, and we know how to work it. The rest of the group is supplied first.
The market
People have always wanted to be safe. Most of them would also like to be dangerous.
Protection is the oldest market there is, and the only one that grows every time someone feels threatened.
