**Matt Gentry | From Outdoorsman to Master Knife-Maker**
Matt Gentry is a lifelong outdoorsman whose passion for nature and craftsmanship led him to become a full-time knife-maker. What began as a fishing YouTube channel to share his love of the Great Lakes evolved into a full-fledged business in 2020, built on quality, transparency, and a deep respect for the craft.
Matt’s journey into knife-making began in 2016. As his skills grew, so did his audience—drawn not just to the tools he created, but to the way he openly shared his process. His “how-to” YouTube channel has become a go-to resource for aspiring makers and seasoned craftsmen alike.
Today, Matt has hand-crafted thousands of knives, using a wide range of materials and designs tailored for real-world use. His signature model, the **Gander**, pays homage to his Michigan roots—a durable, multi-purpose blade built for those who thrive in the outdoors.
From the workshop to the wild, every Gentry knife is a reflection of purpose, precision, and passion.
