Damascus RAW

The heirloom.

Layered 1020 carbon, folded and compressed. Grinding reveals a pattern that exists in no other wedge — yours exactly once.

1020 Carbon RAW

The gamer.

The same head in clean carbon steel. No pattern, no ceremony — just the soft, dense feel that made forged wedges worth forging.

A word on RAW

Both wedges ship RAW — bare steel, no plating, no clear coat. They will rust. Oxidation begins within the first few rounds and deepens into a patina shaped by your climate, your hands, and your turf. That is the point: a raw face grips the ball, and the finish keeps a record of the rounds you have played.

From Billet to Bag

Five Stages. Two Hands.

Every Project Nine wedge passes through the same fire, in the same order, under the same eyes — whichever steel you choose.
I

The Billet

1020 carbon — layered for Damascus, clean for carbon

Every wedge begins as one solid billet — not a casting, not a machined blank. For Damascus, the layers that will become your face pattern are already inside it, waiting for the fire. For carbon, the steel is clean and quiet from the start.

II

The Fire

Forge-heated until it moves like clay

The billet goes into the forge and comes out glowing. Heat is what lets steel be persuaded — and it is where a mass-produced head and a hand-forged one part ways forever.

III

The Anvil

Shaped by hammer · one head at a time

Under the hammer, the billet becomes a head: hosel drawn, sole set, profile trued by eye and experience. No two hammer sessions are identical — which is the point.

IV

The Grind

Shape ground by hand

Grinding sets the bounce and finishes the face that will meet the ball. On a Damascus head, this is also the moment the pattern first shows itself — layers opening under the belt, yours and no one else's.

V

The Mark

Forge-numbered · entered in the ledger

Finished heads are stamped with the forge mark and their number, then logged in the batch record — Damascus or carbon, the same ledger holds them both. When yours ships, it already knows it. Provenance, not packaging.

The Workshop

Forged on the Front Range

Project Nine wedges aren't made in a factory. They're made in a Colorado workshop — one smith, one anvil, one head at a time. The mountain air is thinner up here; the standards aren't. Every head is forged, ground, and finished by the same hands that stamp its number.

Designed in Colorado. Forged in Colorado. Felt everywhere.
The Scoring Set

Choose Your Loft

Three tools for the last 120 yards. Each one offered in either steel.
50°
56°
60°

50° — The Gap

The full-swing scorer. The 50° fills the space between your pitching wedge and your sand wedge — controlled distance, flighted-down spin, and the club you hit when the number is awkward and the pin is honest. Offered in Damascus or 1020 carbon.

56° — The Sand

The workhorse. Bunkers, standard chips, three-quarter wedges into soft greens — the 56° is the club that lives in your hand around the green, and the one whose RAW face earns its patina first. Offered in Damascus or 1020 carbon.

60° — The Lob

The specialist. Short-sided, tucked pins, firm greens that give you nothing — the 60° opens the face and asks for touch. In Damascus, it is also the most beautiful club in the bag. Offered in Damascus or 1020 carbon.
