About
Drop Test Media...who are we?
DTM is a collection of like-minded individuals who share a desire to create. Our focus is on creating whatever tickles our fancy. Founded in 2013 by our illustrious leaders Coop and Chaco, DTM started as a music-centered podcast. We didn't hit our stride until a knife project that was at the time Chaco's hobby garnered attention on the socials. The rest is a downward spiral of burns, excessive tool purchases, and many hospital visits.
Currently, we work primarily in metal, with the occasional wooden project sneaking in here and there. We run our bladesmithing department that creates unique designs as well as reproductions of famous historical blades. All designs are handmade in our NEPA shop lovingly called the Dungeon.
Production-run knives will be available when listed in our store.
At this time we are no longer accepting commission work. Our plates are just too full. When we are prepared to open the books again we'll announce it on all of the socials and here. Custom orders of our production knives are handled on a case-by-case basis and are subject to availability.
DTM is a 100% Veteran owned and operated business that also works with other local veteran creators
