mokume gane made with layers of brass, copper and nickel-silver

Mokume

Mokume Gane, meaning “wood grain metal” in Japanese, is an ancient technique where layers of copper, brass, nickel-silver, and other alloys are fused together to create mesmerizing woodgrain-style patterns.

At Vegas Forge, we adapt this traditional art for modern makers — producing billets for knifemakers, jewelers, and fine artisans who demand both beauty and durability. Each Mokume billet is one-of-a-kind, with organic swirls, bold contrasts, and timeless appeal.

Explore patterns like Herringbone, Ladder, Random, Pressed, Twist, and Typhoon Mokume, all forged in Las Vegas, USA.
