    I'm trying to get Matt into the Countryside marquee, i run at a few north Country Shows, its about promoting "country ways", "country sports", and "country traditions", and crafts. Matt would be perfect. It wouldn't cost him anything. I don't think Matt has enough advertising of his work. He should be inundated with orders, at those prices.

    I've just had one of Matts blades made up. Very happy indeed with it.

    I'm surprised the lot has not gone yet,- other more well known makers of these types of blades have a waiting list. Matt is not yet an established "name", so perhaps thats why. I've had a few blades off Matt, and they really are by far the best, in steel type and quality of production. Also look at the prices, you can't go wrong.

    Top quality blades at a giveaway price !

    Amazing work Matt, very nice indeed. Best steel. A real snip at those prices also. These will make into great knives.

    Thanks Matt, i'm very pleased with it. Your makers mark is fine, its just the glare of the camera.

    Yes Kev, i just wish the photos had been better, they just don't do it justice. It really is a great type, and knife.

    Here is the latest Bushcraft type knife i have. The blade is from Matt ( Midnight ), in o1 tool steel. Ivory linnen Micarta, over red fibre liners. Brass pins, made up by my mate frenchy. Razor sharp. What other type knife would you really need. I'm making the sheath for it. A very nice and practical knife indeed.

    Good for her Matt, its so much better when you can share interests, but i'd watch her hormone levels with a knife collection like that. If she's having an off day,- SAY NOWT .

    I thought the Bushcrafter would have gone first, its a very practical type knife for any jobs.

    Yes its a very good read, and good knives, but having said that,- from what i know now, about his steels, and quality of production, his knives and blades, i don't think you will get better than Matts (Midnight) off this site. His will stand against any of the "top" names in my opinion.

    Anyone else doing any leather stuff

    Best off contacting the British Stickmakers Guild and asking them of any local makers, for crooks etc, but a lot of work can go into a hand made rams horn stick. I don't think the crooks on that site were worth that asking price.

    A few folk have mentioned losing their knife in the field. Thats your main tool in any country activity, and should have priority care at all times. If you are that worried about losing a knife ( opinal ), super glue some strips of silver paper down either side of the handle, but really you shouldn't be losing your knife.

    Matts Bushcraft type knives will do the lot with ease. Hold a great edge also.

    Great work Matt, and knives that will last a lifetime with care. Remember lads this is Matts living, not a hobby. Try not to knock him down on price, the knives / blades are worth every penny, and more to be honest. Craftsman stuff.
  23. Gin
    Then thats what i'd ask for it, its worth that.
  24. Gin
    What did you pay for it
