This is, without a doubt, one of the more beautiful knives I've ever seen. Needless to say, I kept this one for myself. The rest of my groomsmen are stoked to get theirs soon

Can't say enough how incredible it was to work with Matt on these knives. He truly went above and beyond all my expectations - we spoke numerous times though email and on the phone before he made a prototype and was extremely patient with me as I talked about what I had in mind for these knives. The end product was far beyond what I had envisioned in my mind at the start. Matt is a true artist and I will absolutely be ordering from him again!

SPECIALIZING IN HAND FORGED KNIVES AND WARES

It all started over a cup of coffee...

My friend Nathan and I discussed the art of bladesmithing over a cup of coffee one day. Being familiar with tools and woodworking I was instantly enthralled. I visited his grandfather's shop and I made my very first knife...I was hooked. I soon could not get enough and set up my own shop based at my parents house and built my own forge in their backyard (much to their dismay)! Before long, I was starting to invite friends over and I was getting them interested in making their own knives. It was mentioned on several occasions that I should open my own shop and start selling at local festivals and markets. I did not take any of these remarks seriously for a while because this was my hobby and not a business. Now, I am looking to expand and think it would be nice to cover some of my material costs and share my work with everyone else. Please support me in my endeavors!

Thank You,
Matthew

My venture is to preserve and maintain the blacksmithing traditions similar to how they were throughout the ages. I earnestly hope that through my endeavors others may gain an appreciation for this ancient tradition.
