Matt has worked a long time to bring his own knife design and level of fit and finish to the community. This one has ball bearings for smooth easy opening blade that locks super solid but easy to unlock. Notice the lack of screws? Only the pivot and clip screws are visible, the rest are inside...

I love this thread. It runs as long as my Toyota pickup

Calvin thanks for the picture. You are very tall in comparison but I got you on belt size. Really enjoyed fingering your slip joints and taking notes on your high level of precision thanks for the knife makers guild application. You guys will be a good influence on my fit and finish

Thanks much fellow dogs. I enjoy making double edge knives, especially the blades. This one has a frame that was lathe turned with the scales super glued in place. My first attempt at this method.

Ed, you are the first full time knife maker I met. You had a tremendous influence on me when we were next to each other at the Oregon show back in about 1990. I couldn't even get a table of my own but shared a table with a knife handle supplier. I was going to pay him but I never sold anything.

Thats almost the same as me. 27 years my friend

Thanks much my friends. Compliments always give me fuel to keep going. Justin, I am trying to talk the owner into bringing it to the show. This one could do well in the judging I think. Do you have a table again this year?

Hi Scott, Here is as far as my pictures went. I did acid etch the barrel and sent it to the owner. As far as I know it never did get engraving. With the right engraving artist this one will be a show winner I think. http://knifedogs.com/showthread.php?25035-Matchlock-Axe-Pistol/page47

MY grandson Ashton have been developing a forced air vertical forge kit that we plan to sell. You will need a welder and angle grinder with a disc cutter. THis kit uses a 20 pound propane bottle with top down bottom cut off also fron and back door openings and a hole for the burner. Please...

Im always happy to see this thread back to the top again. Please post early knives here without fear of critique. We all started somewhere and I'm convinced its in our blood to make another and another. The first ones are not going to be pretty as a general rule but with each knife they get just...

Thanks so much for checking out this bowie. Its kind of a milestone for our son Brian and his engraving.

the pommel and frame are one piece. Allot of bandsaw work from 1" solid 416 stainless steel

Thank you Gents for the good words. This one did come together well, I have a pretty dang good team.

Looks pretty nice. Did you make it for momma? forged? I like the traction grid in front of the scales. You sure those scales will stay on? I can't see fasteners.

Thats a wild idea Rex. It could be done though, I would think a 1911 from Jesse with the right side scale as a removable fixed blade single edged push dagger. :)

Sorry to hear this news Smithy. Prayers heading up and out.

Whew! Jesse, those are gorgeous! I like the bright contrast and finish.

Yes, thanks for the review. I will put you on the list. heeeheee ya right!

thanks for the business. This file guide will be useful for a variety of even grinds. :)

Hi Laurence, Good to see you here again. Im fine except for gall flare ups. I shoulda listened to mom when she said eat my veggies. Now I'm paying for it.
