Ogden, Iowa is about 40 miles from my hometown of Gilbert. I’ve been there many times, and Ogden today is one of the cleanest, best-kept towns you’ll come across. But who would have guessed that a world-class cutlery-making shop would be a block off Main Street? Or that Jessie Wipperman, a “Forged In Fire”, winner would be making knives there. (Check out Season 9, Episode 25 “Marvel’s Midnight Suns”).
So when in Iowa last summer visiting family and friends, I made sure to stop and visit the shop. Jessie and partner Tim Ogg were hard at work. It is always fun watching expert craftsmen doing what they so obviously enjoy. And I really appreciate seeing American-made products being fabricated in American shops
