OUR STORY

A Family-Owned Brand Forged in Smoke, Steel, and Saturday BBQs.

At BLCK ANVL, we believe a man should know his way around a fire, own a solid pair of tongs, and never trust a spatula that can’t take a hit.

Born in the backyards of Costa Mesa, California, BLCK ANVL was started by a group of dads who grew up with pocket knives in their jeans and the scent of campfire smoke permanently baked into their flannels. We’re meat lovers, grill lifers, and believers in the sacred ritual of cooking outdoors. Whether it’s flipping steaks for the family or searing cast iron over an open flame, we think the tools in your hand should be as reliable as your best friend’s handshake.

That’s why we build BBQ gear the old-school way: sturdy, balanced, and made to last. From forged steel spatulas to chef-worthy knives and cast iron pans that could survive the apocalypse, everything we make is designed for the kind of folks who take their flame seriously. Family-owned and proudly Made in the USA, we value quality over quantity and gear that tells a story every time you fire it up.

This isn’t about shiny gadgets or gimmicks. It’s about tradition, craft, and creating the kind of gear you’ll pass down to your kids—along with your favorite dry rub recipe.

BLCK ANVL is for anyone who’s ever smiled at the first sizzle of meat on a hot grill. Welcome to the fire.
