Kayne and Son Custom hardware Inc

We are the Kayne Family

Steve started Blacksmithing at the age of 8. His Grandfather grabbed him by the ear and pulled him into the shop. Eight smiths worked for his grandfather, all from Europe, no two from the same country. Not being able to communicate with each other and trying to uphold their nations honor caused them to work very productively. Each one thought he was the best and knew the best way to do everything. They competed with each other and Steve learned from them all.

In 1954, Steve entered the Navy. Being a smith, they made him an electrician. After the Navy and College, he married and set up a shop for part time smithing. Immediately he was swamped with work from antique dealers, collectors, etc., and the rest is history.

His son David started at age 5 and now runs the business which has three forges, a 7000+ square foot shop and warehouse, and a gallery of their work.

Steve's wife Shirley and David's wife Cathy run the office.

Dennis Hunter, employee and blacksmith for 20 years, assists David in the shop.

David and Cathy's teenage sons, Jonathan and Eli, are learning the family craft from both their grandfather and father. They are spending their spare time working in the shop.
