Fine product The forge worked very well, and will work better as I tweak it for my needs. It took longer to heat up than I expected, until I readjusted the flame as per instructions in the online video. Then it heated beautifully, and I heat treated two blades prior to tempering, and annealed two other files to become billets for future knives. Service was excellent. My packaging was solid. My product was solid. Since I am almost 75 years old, I probably will not be buying another forge, but if I do, it will be another one from Mathewson. Frank L

Will do business again Good prices,good delivery time.my only gripe would be that your web site took forever to update.it said "preparing shipment" for 2 days and was at my door.its good it got here before the site said it was out for delivery,just might be confusing for customers in the future...btw I changed it to the 4 star rating I tried but somehow it reset to 1 and I didn't notice it when I posted the review

16 days and counting and still no forge and no contact phone number I would love to give them a higher rating, and most likely will when we get our forge, but it has been 16 days and counting and still no forge. Additionally they need a contact phone number if they are going to sell such expensive products.

Atrocious shipping Hopefully the forge lives up to the hype when it arrives, atrocious shipping. I placed an order on Feb 6, according to the shipping policy on their website it should have shipped that Friday. A label was not created until the 13th, however the product still did not ship until the 20th, I was told due to inclimate weather. Travking now tells me to expect it on tbe 27th. A ridiculous amount of time in this day and age. This company did not adhere to their shipping policy.

Do it! You wont regret it I have made 2 purchases from here, first was a metalsmith forge (a great forge by the way, quality burner, and excellent design of both). I made a video review of the forge but cannot figure how to upload here. I will put on youtube and update with link later. In the meantime, reasonable prices, quality products....so do hesitate.
