Check out my knives, leather goods, and more. I’m a disabled veteran, father, and martial arts enthusiast — making handcrafted knives and unique items with care and passion.
My name is Matt. I am a disabled Veteran (11B), father, and martial arts enthusiast. I took a few years off from making knives because I couldn't walk — but I’m back!
I work slowly and selectively, mostly in spring and summer in upstate NY since winters are cold.
Leather goods and other items are available year-round, including patches, challenge coins, and more.
Fixed blades are made in spring and summer, while folders are available once enough pre-orders are placed. Folders are supplied by Shieldon, a well-known and reputable company. Fixed blades are handmade by me personally. ALL PRICES INCLUDE SHIPPING! EMAIL WILL BE SENT WITH TRACKING!

I am a disabled veteran of 9 years with 2 tours, medically retired. I started making knives to support myself while life was challenging.
Life was going well until my spine gave out due to necessary workouts for my health. I didn’t walk for about 4 years but eventually had surgery with a civilian doctor. Now, I live with pain management, coffee, and my wife’s love.
I love Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, Kickboxing, wrestling, and more. Martial arts have always been a passion of mine.
