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.

Excellent forge just did burn in and… Excellent forge just did burn in and aside from a little orfice tuning all went perfectly. Rock solid construction And excellent customer service Mike has spoken with me three times to help me out and is always informative and courteous. Thank you Mathewson metals !

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.

I definitely recommend Mathewson MetalSmith products I definitely recommend Mathewson Metals. Shipping was quick, forge arrived in good condition, easy to assemble and operate. Doesn’t burn a lot of propane; a tank lasted me about 6 hours of forging at high heat. I bought the MetalSmith model. My only cautions are that it’s pretty small, so if you want the option of working on bigger projects you may want a bigger forge with a bigger door. Also, it’s a single burner, and I haven’t been able to achieve forging heat on mild steel.

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
