Built by Family, Forged with Love

It all started in an 8×10 garage in a tiny townhouse in Santa Clara, California. What began as a passion project quickly became a mission — to provide jewelers and silversmiths with the highest quality handcrafted tools at prices that fit any budget.

Today, the Rutland family works out of our East Tennessee workshop, hand carving every shot plate, stamp, and die with the same love and dedication we had on day one. Every tool that leaves our shop carries a piece of our story.

We want every customer to feel the love behind each transaction — not a cut-and-dry "thanks," but a deep understanding of how much you mean to us.

— The Rutland Family

The detail on these shot plates is incredible. I've tried other brands and nothing comes close to the precision and artistry of BRC tools. Worth every penny.
