About

Like so many other makers, Matt has been infatuated with sharp things since childhood, when he fashioned crude knife-shaped objects from found materials using files, sidewalks and curbs. He’s since graduated to modern alloys, grinders, and aerospace materials. Always striving to balance form, flow, precision and ergonomics while refusing to fill his life with ever-larger machines and tooling, he focuses on doing more with less. Over twenty years into his journey, he’s constantly realizing that the more he learns, the less he knows, which pushes his curious nature to always want more understanding. Matt’s influence extends into the primary supply chain of the industry. Operating in an advisory capacity as Cutlery Support Specialist for Niagara Specialty Metals, he serves as an alpha tester for new alloy releases. His basement workshop acts as a real-world laboratory to ensure that industrial repeatable results can be duplicated by a "nuts-and-bolts" maker. ​​​​​​​
