NC Tool Company works out of Pleasant Garden, North Carolina, family owned since 1982. Farrier Donald Jones and his wife Ruth Ann ran the North Carolina School of Horseshoeing from 1976, then started making the equipment their graduates could not buy anywhere; the first Whisper gas forge was patented in 1981. The shop now turns out gas forges, farrier anvils, tongs, hammers, hoof gauges and nippers. Store prices show the level: Whisper Baby #0107 at $665, Whisper Momma #0112 at $857, NC Anvil #0200 at $472, Knifemaker 21 #0108 at $1126.

Built for people who light a forge every working day: farriers, shoeing schools, bladesmiths. Forges come with hose, gauge and regulator, push button ignition, quick heat recovery, propane as standard with natural gas conversion possible. Hobbyists on a tight budget will balk at the prices, and freight costs bite, since an anvil weighs about 70 pounds.
