This is unbelievable and terrible news. He had such a fantastic personality was one of those people whose post were always a gem and I wish I could have actually met him.

Rest in Peace Charlie Mike. I never did get one of his knives, I had a design for a chisel edge bowie I wanted him to look at for me this year. He was one of the first persons I met when I joined BladeForums. It was awesome how he turned his life around and I admire how he served his country.

Next Christmas is going to be a little less merry without a penis in a Santa hat popping up on my Instagram.

Damn it's too bad Jerry Busse's Name This Knife GAW is closed, I was going to suggest that he call it the Charlie Mike. I thought it would have been fitting because both of them look like Bad Asses.

You will be missed.

Anyone have a link to the thread for knifemakers who’ve moved on to the great grinder in the sky? I’d like to see Matt on the list to make sure he gets the recognition as a Knifemaker he deserves.

RIP Matt

CM gave me a regrind on a broken knife without knowing me from Adam.


Started following him, his work and his journey-stand up guy if there ever was one.

Although not a piece he made I did buy a Case Bose Tribal Spear from him. Going with me tomorrow for sure.

Damn. We had recovery in common and that led to a few interesting discussions. His work will be missed.
