Let customers speak for us
from 91 reviewsComplete package - beautiful wood that looked exactly like in the website pics, a fab design - clearly a labour of love to get 'just so' - beautifully ergonomic and weighted in the hand, and offers a level of precision above and beyond anything else i've used (and i've tried a few...). So good i immediately bought a second, so i could have two different blade styles (i prefer shape SM01 for dovetail marking but SM03 for general marking). Beautifully packaged too - Matt has really thought about all aspects of the presentation and finishing - for an unassuming product, it packs a punch.

This knife is my 5th & Final. It’s hard not to keep buying them; Matt has improved and finessed the blade clamp/collar from the original and always uses stunning hardwoods. The cherry on top is that this purchase also helps a great cause.

Great packaging of a lovely marking knife. Deserves to be kept in its box and not allowed to roll around the bench. I need to save up for more of Matt's tools.

Plans executed to Matt's usual high standards, this is a great little project. Dimensions are provided in both imperial and metric, by the way. The download includes both PDF and Sketchup formats

Expertly made and fits my hand perfectly.

What else would you expect from Matt but an excellent tool, of the highest quality, beautifully done and does the job very well. I love the knife and I'm sure it will outlast me, but I think I want another one, just in case.

I previously purchased Matt’s marking knife. I liked it so much I ordered another, this one in walnut. It is well made. I like the design with the long blade. I find it easy to use. I must say the manner that it is packaged is stellar.

Was using the same blade in a metal body knife. The Haritage by ME feels so much better in the hand making it easier to use and I look better holding it!

Beautiful knife. Excellent weight & balance with gorgeous grain in the Plane wood.

Nice design and simple, well laid out plans without any flam in the way. Very workmanlike and easy to use. Nice!

After wanting one of Matt’s marking knives for some time I had to get this. The quality is evident as soon as you open the box. The consideration that has gone in to the packaging with cut out in lays for everything, Allen key, blades and the knife itself, is exceptional.
The knife itself is beautiful, made of walnut with a brass ferrule. The quality of workmanship is amazing, the weight is well balanced and the finish is perfect. The laser etching of the woodland heritage logo is a nice touch and donation to their cause is great. This is a knife that will last my whole woodworking experience. Thanks Matt.

A wonderful looking well balanced marking knife.

Sometime you have to treat yourself to an extremely nice tool and support the people who are doing so much to keep knowledge of this craft alive. This is a perfectly sized, perfectly weighted, beautifully finished, disposable blade marking knife that inspires you to do your very best marking. Or open boxes or whatever because replaceable blades.
