Hi guys it’s that time again a large batch for sale.
just a rundown of dimensions and materials used.

The blade is 5.8mm thick o1 tool steel.
Professionally heat treated in Sheffield to a tested hrc 57-59
Laser engraved in Sheffield.
Hand finished in every other way, each one is subtly different.
it has a saber grind, I’ve done the grind higher to get a finer cross section for what I believe is a better edge for the purpose of field craft .
It’s totally over engineered so should last a very long time and some abuse in the field!!
Dimensions are.

For the regular fieldcrafter.
9.5cm cutting edge
12.5cm handle
it takes 4 x 4mm pins and 1x8mm lanyard.

For the limited edition lads and ladies (only 20 will be made)

Same steel as above

With 8cm cutting edge 11cm handle. it has 4x2mm pins and a 7mm lanyard tube.


The handle materials are black and olive green G10. Black linen micarta , green linen micarta , green canvas micarta and black and green dymond wood , they are all super tough and look really cool

I use a two ton rated 2 part apoxie to glue them .
Shaped and finished by hand and given a satin finish with a specialist abrasive.

'Info on the sheaths is 3.5mm died through shoulder.
Double Stitched with 4 strands of pre waxed nylon thread.
Riveted belt loop 3.5mm welt glued and stitched by hand died black and waxed.
Should last a very long time!



There are currently two limited edition lads and ladies models finished they are just a reduced sized version of the regular, the design is really flexible so this was a no brainer, and there must be dads or fella’s with kids or a Mrs. that would appreciate a mini version of yours!!

They fit the same sheath but you maybe want a little tag of a lanyard for pulling them out the sheath I don’t know I can do it comfortably.

They are finished in g10 or canvas micarta.

This is a first come first serve sale. no cheques will be accepted just direct bank transfers PayPal or cash sent recorded delivery.

They usual get to you the next day after payment is received but weekends sometimes stop that!

They are.....

£80 without sheath for the regular, free uk first-class recorded delivery.

£60 for the lads and ladies without sheath, free uk first-class recorded delivery.

Or £120 for the full knife with sheath (regular) free uk first-class recorded delivery.

And £100 for the finished knife with sheath (for the lads and ladies) free uk first-class recorded delivery.

Hello, beautiful knives, especially the Dymond wood.
My wife has quite small hands, would you mind giving me an approximate measure of the small knife's handle - width and depth at widest point so I can quickly carve up a stick for her to try out for size. Thanks!
Do you have a Dymond wood small?

Hi the sale is now over back to normal price of £120 for a regular fieldcrafter and £100 for the lads and ladies .

Hi Pete sure the handled portion of the knife is 11cm long and at its widest point is 7cm girth thats almost exactly the middle of the handle .
My mrs and son both have small hands and there a very good fit !!
Unfortunately I don't have a lads and ladies in dymond wood no , I'm not sure I will be able to get anymore of that for a little while . Maybe in a different colour maybe .
I have plenty of the g10 and canvas green micarta .
I hope that helps ?!
All the best , matt

are you Serious ???
There laser cut in Sheffield from steel provided from a uk stockist !
Heat treated in Sheffield laser engraved in Sheffield and everything else is done In my workshop in Nottinghamshire !!!!
Wow I'm offended by that !!!!
Look mate I can and do forge beautiful knives from my own Damascus as well as making the stock removal knives !!
Yet I'm not skilled enough to know what a Pakistani steel knife is other than the very poor Damascus touted out !!
How dare you make such a statement ???
I can pm you my details and address your welcome to come and watch me make one from scratch if you like , then to my face apologise to me then again publicly !!

Edit to add , I suspected some Suspicion of a new member but not this sort of thing .
Have you looked up my introduction to the forum there is more than one member that knows me from other forums I'm sure they will vouch for me not being an importer of inferior knives , but a skilled maker who's earned there stripes
. Look for me on British blades I'm there under my proper name "matt Simmons"
It documents my learning and the other knives iv made pretty well !!
I find that post outrageous !

Well ban me then Mary. The intro said heat treated and engraved in sheffield but didnt mention the origin of the steel. I just found it very cheap for a good looking knife and it was an innocent question. Sorry if i ruffled your feathers but im used to paying a good deal more for a similar custom made knife. I dont frequent BB so wouldnt know you

Apologies for pi$$ing on your chips. perhaps its the heat

No one's talking about banning; simply about a bit of courtesy on a sales thread.

I haven't been on BB for ages either so I don't know this (new here) Maker either.

If Matt asks though, the thread can be stripped back to it's original intent.

Thank you Toby lets keep it real and visible please .

Your right your getting incredible value for money here in this knife !!
The companies I use are the same as the big names use !!
I know that because the maker that gave me those companies names uses them to ,
A clue would be that only me and Stuart Mitchell use the essay office Sheffield for our laser engraving!!
Here is my photo bucket account http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/minibullmacine/library/?sort=3&page=1
No need to look on British blades to find me everything I ever made other than hundreds of blanks iv sold are on there to view , I would like you to know that the early knives are made from files I forged on a home made BBQ charcoal forge , at that time I had no tools not even tongs or an anvil so used a lump or rail track pliers and claw hammers to forge the steel . Then I had no choice but to do everything else by hand with files and sand paper. ! Those early knives sold for as much if not more than I'm asking for the fieldcrafters !!

You already know I was offended by the question that won't change, but lets use this now to be open and let others know my credentials and background , so that anyone else with doubts might know I'm a British small business man wih something I can be proud of and sell with honesty !!

Thank you Duncan !!
The Finnish is actually the original rolled plate , but after heater treating has a real rawness I like. I then pay a company locally to me to bead blast each blank blade and tang .
I scotchbrite them before grinding the bevels ,buff with grey compound on a sicel mop after grinding. Then scotchbrite again once all the work is done , the thing here is that cost money to do, its deliberate ,as before I made knives on this scale I was a stone mason and I liked the link to the raw quarry stone that had been carved or machined, and or engraved . I think it's striking and beautiful in stone and added a little more influence of me, my history and taste to the knives !

My humble apologeis, i wasnt trying to call you into disrepute and with hindsight i should have known better than to post in a sales thread with disrespectful questions.

Ive been burned on more than one occassion with custom blades and finished knives and probably didnt think enough prior to posting.

Please accept my apologies and of course if mods want to edit my posts they are more than welcome

ive been here far too long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
