Hi from the UK

Post by selfemadeknives »

Good evening all

I'm Matt, a custom knife maker from Kent in the UK. I specialise in kitchen, folding and outdoor knives.

The UK has strict carry laws, meaning that we can only carry non-locking knives with a blade length shorter than 3"

Folding knife wise I make a lot of friction folding knives. I have 4 main patterns that I create. My standard model, a tanto, a kwaiken and the Goliath. The last is a beast of a knife, but the edge still comes in at sub 3" meaning that it is a great fun UK legal pocket carry knife.

I look forward to browsing the pages and hopefully getting to know a few of you better.

Thanks all
Matt

Welcome Matt!
I like the looks of your knives, they look very practical, and well made.

I'm just making friction folders at the moment. Will probably attempt a slip joint at some point next year.
