Saying thank you I have had my Knifesmith forge for some years now. I want to say thank for the great product that has not only allowed me to turn out some nice knifes but also provide hours of fun and enjoyment doing it with my my kids, grandkids and other friends.

I live near this shop (even took a… I live near this shop (even took a smithing class here), so I got to see the forge before I purchased it. Works great, I can get three sessions of about 4 hours each on a 4.5 lb tank of propane. Got “upsold” to the MetalSmith forge (was going to get the Knifesmith), glad I spent the extra money. One thing to be aware of, the Metalsmith needs to be heated up the first time to make sure the cement is fully cured and then allowed to cool prior to first time use. This is an important, yet frustrating step meaning your new toy will take an extra couple of hours to be really useable.

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.

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 !

Great customer service Great customer service! I recommend when purchasing through their PayPal payment system you must set up a PayPal account. I tried the second option of just using a debit or credit card option and PayPal screwed it up by not submitting my purchase or charging my card even though it prompted at thanks for your purchase screen. Which left me and Matthewson Metals in the dark about my purchase! I bought the metalsmith forge and it’s very well built and it works great!
