Detstvo
Metal was part of his life from the very beginningAs a young boy, Miroslav spent time with his great-grandfather in his blacksmith forge. The smell of metal, the rhythm of the hammer, the glow of the fire — these were the things that felt like home. The craft was passed down through the family, not learned from books.
Studies
Engineering school — solid technical foundationsHis natural affinity for metal was later deepened through engineering studies. School gave him the technical knowledge that craft instinct alone cannot replace — an understanding of materials, structural strength, and processing technologies. That is why he knows exactly what metal can take and where its limits lie.
Prax
20 years of orders, mistakes and experienceTwo decades at the forge. From simple locksmith work to demanding architectural projects. Every job brought new experience, new challenges, and a step forward. Behind those years of practice stands a team of people who share the same attitude to craft, detail, and work done right.
Dnes
BKL Forge — own workshop, own team, own standardsBKL was not founded to be just another blacksmithing and metalwork company. It was built on the belief that things should be done properly — honestly, with quality and without compromise, whether in the choice of materials or the work itself.

„At the end of the day, you have to feel good about the work. Know that you did it honestly, that you cut no corners, and that you can put your name to it without shame. That is exactly what we stand for."

Why BKL

There are many blacksmithing and metalwork companies.
We are different.

We are not trying to be the biggest or the cheapest. What matters to us is doing work that holds up over the years. We want our clients to look at the finished piece long after and know who stands behind it. That is why we take on fewer jobs — but give each one everything we have.

BKL is a family business built on honest work, quality craftsmanship and responsibility for every detail.

01

Own production from start to finish

Every product is made directly in our own workshop. We do not outsource anything or rely on anonymous production. We control the entire process — from the first cut to the final surface finish. That is precisely why we can guarantee quality on every single piece.

02

Jansen + Soudal — materials we trust

We work with Swiss Jansen steel profiles and Belgian Soudal sealing systems. There are cheaper alternatives on the market, but we refuse to compromise on material quality. A good result does not start at installation — it starts with what the product is made from.

03

Blacksmithing and metalwork under one roof

Most companies focus on either blacksmithing or metalwork. We combine both naturally, depending on what the project demands. This allows us to deliver technically precise solutions alongside handcrafted details that work not only practically but visually too. We enjoy working with architects and interior designers on contemporary projects where metal plays a central role — from minimalist steel windows to staircases, railings and bespoke interior elements.

04

Personal approach from the very first contact

When you call or write to us, you communicate directly with the people who actually work on the project. No anonymous replies, no being passed between departments. We are a family business and we believe that collaboration should be fair, direct and human — from the first conversation to the handover of the finished work.

05

Site survey and consultation — no charge

We come to you, measure up, look at the space and advise on the best solution. A quote is included — no obligation and no charge. And if you ultimately decide to go a different way, that is completely fine. We believe that a fair approach is the foundation of good collaboration.

06

For us, the job does not end at handover

Metal products are built to last for years — and we take the same long-term view with our client relationships. Even after handover, we are available for servicing, adjustments or future additions. We do not treat it as a one-off order, but as work we stand behind long after it is done.
