iPhone
Identify any knife from a single photo. Built for property-and-evidence officers, detectives, collectors, chefs, and EDC carriers. Reference tool, not a marketplace.
Recovered knife from a stabbing investigation? Switchblade or legal folder under your state's knife law? Antique blade in an estate intake? Custom-forged knife with an unfamiliar maker mark? Forged identifies edged weapons and knives from a single photo using AI vision. Point your camera, get a structured ID card in about 5 seconds: maker, model, blade material, lock type, legal classification where it varies by jurisdiction, and historical context.
LAW ENFORCEMENT USE
Forged is built for the workflows that real departments handle every day:
- Property-and-evidence officers logging recovered edged weapons with accurate maker, model, and category data for the chain-of-custody record
- Detectives doing field-quick identification on recovered knives in stabbing, assault, and concealed-weapon investigations
- Charge-decision support for jurisdictions with knife-specific statutes
- Corrections officers logging contraband recovered during intake or cell searches; identifying improvised vs. manufactured edged weapons
- Training reference for crime-scene investigators and academy curriculum touching edged-weapon identification
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
Departments interested in institutional licensing for agency-wide use can email support@stratalogic.io for a quote. Pricing is case-by-case based on department size and use case.
PRIVACY POSTURE FOR AGENCY USE
- Photos processed by an AI vision model (Anthropic Claude) under an API agreement that does not train on or retain submitted images
- Forged does not retain photos on its servers; identification results return to the officer's device and stay there
- No officer ID, badge number, department, or case ID is collected by the app
- No transactional knife purchase or carry data is collected or shared
- Per-request cache lives only on the officer's device

Forged is a reference tool, not a transactional marketplace. We help you identify what you have. What you do with that information is up to you. The Legal Classification panel is informational only -- consult an attorney for jurisdiction-specific legality questions.
