Learn about Kent Knapp, a master blacksmith who hopes to keep the long tradition alive.

Kent Knapp has been studying blacksmithing since he was 19 years old. He worked with a master blacksmith for a few years in Milwaukee and now runs a traditional blacksmithing business that involves his wife and 4 children. A huge part of the draw to this art form for the family is Kent’s love for Milwaukee architecture and its rich history with iron.
