Our Story
Our Story
Hand-Crafted in Virginia
Blanc Creatives began in 2012 when founder Corry Blanc set out to revive the lost art of hand-forging kitchen tools. What started as a one-man shop in Charlottesville, VA, has grown into a small team making heirloom-quality tools with integrity. Every piece is forged, shaped, and finished in-house, blending function and form with unmatched attention to detail.
In Corry’s Words
“We don’t cut corners. We make tools that will last generations. That’s the point.”
Mission
To elevate everyday cooking through thoughtfully crafted tools made with intention, integrity, and performance in mind.
Philosophy + Ethos
| Craft with Purpose | We design with intention—tools that are as beautiful as they are useful. |
|---|---|
| Beauty Meets Utility | Our tools live at the intersection of form and function. |
| Built to Last | We use premium materials—carbon steel, copper, wood—so your tools can outlast trends. |
| Connection Through Craft | Every product tells a story—from the fire of the forge to the hands that shaped it. |
| A Return to Handmade | In a world of mass production, we make small-batch tools with meaning. |
