Just finished up my "cutter" for 2009, nothing special but been a while since ive posted here. I try and make at least 1 a year for myself, but im generally talked out of them long before the year is up

What Matt was really trying to say was...he is generally talked out of them before the MONTH is up.

Matt was letting me know what he had 'on the bench' and ask if I would be interested in his 2009 Cutter. I loved the blade profile on this the minute he posted it. I enjoy larger knives, but wasn't sure about the thickness of this one. Matt knew I like larger handled bowies, and said he thought I might like this one, especially after he wrapped it.

It arrived today. I thought I had made a mistake when I first took it out of the package...fairly thick grip with the cord wrap. Lots of steel out in front of the handle. Balances at about the rear-end of the Lamey maker mark. Just didn't feel quite like I thought it would. But, I decided to wait until I got home this evening and spent some time with it in hand.

I called Matt after whacking a few branches around the yard, and swinging this around some in both hands. Told him I was sold on his knife...it's a keeper after all. My mind was thinking bowie/fighter...but, once I got home and put it to the test doing what a chopper was intended to do, I realized Matt had made a super working knife.

Hope to have more to comment on this one after more use. The cord wrap grip is a hand-full, but is a tremendous asset for this sized chopper. Not that familiar with wrap over wood, but it sure has a great grip to it. Matt has included everything he can in this 15-inch dandy!

I understand he has two more personal cutters in the works, so maybe he will keep one for more than a few weeks!

hi Joe, glad you like it. I had 3 i was working on, and this was the first one finished. I decided to keep a spear point version, although it dont get through a 2x4 as quick as this one.
