Shepherds Whitle

Hand-Forged Shepherd’s Whistle – Crafted from Recycled Silverware

Clear, sharp, and built to last—this Blacksmith-Made Shepherd’s Whistle is not only a working tool, but a unique piece of Kiwi craftsmanship.

Traditionally used for sending distinct commands to working dogs over long distances, these whistles are hand-forged in New Zealand by the Village Blacksmith, using recycled EPNS soup spoons (electroplated nickel silver). The result? A whistle that’s as beautiful as it is functional.

Individually crafted – no two are exactly the same

Sound-tested to ensure a strong, clear, and consistent tone

Finished with a durable 3mm marine-grade Spectra loop – rot-proof and built to withstand years of use in all weather

We include simple instructions for those learning to use a shepherd’s whistle—perfect for handlers new to the technique or anyone keen to sharpen their skills.

Whether you’re on the farm, in the hills, or working dogs in sport, this whistle delivers performance with a story. It's authentic, handmade, and full of character—just like the dogs it helps guide.
