Matt Suddeth

I am pleased to bring Matt Suddeth into the Hoffner Custom Shop.  He is a talented knife maker whose work is refined but with a rugged, tough, edge, is just my style.  Matt’s ability to share my ideas with his to create a wonderful handmade knife, for use with the Hoffner RGH System, but with his signature style of work screaming all over the blade is the prescription for perfection.  Through many, many hours of drafting, modeling, grinding, shaping, annealing and sharpening, a fine Hoffner-Suddeth masterpiece is complete and ready for your collection.
