My husband and I looked everywhere on Etsy for a great quality, solid, bottle openers with lots of character for his groomsmen. When Matthews shop came up, it.was.perfect. It was hard to make a decision on which one we wanted to give the guys since they were the coolest most manly openers anywhere, we also opted to have the groomsmens initials stamped on the bottom. We placed our order and Matthew was very quick to respond,CONFIRMED everything, and even answer all my questions since our wedding was out of the county what our shipping would look like. He was very honest, very polite and seemed to actually care about what was going on. When we got our package everything was individually wrapped and itemized with my reciept a thank you note, business cards AND candy pieces :) When the openers were handed out with the groomsmen initials on the bottom, the guys were floored, they carried them on their person for the rest of the trip! Thank goodness the business cards came with the package cause people were asking for them like hot cakes! Thank you Matthew for being an amazing vendor and a great craftsman. These are perfect read more

I purchased the Railroad Spike Bottle Openers (item B6, set of 10) from Matthew and Northern Crescent Iron for my groomsmen, myself and father-in-law. It was hands down the hit of the wedding party. I still get compliments a year after I handed them out. They are great conversation pieces and make you feel like a true man while opening a bottle. I'll go out of my way to find my opener, passing up another opener, just because it is so much fun to use. The craftsmanship was spot on; it holds the bottle like someone cradling a little baby sparrow. I would be afraid I'd break the bottle right in half if it didn't fit so perfectly. I had Matt personalize each opener with initials and the date of my wedding; another touch that everyone appreciated. Matt also went out of his way to ensure that the openers arrived on time and before the wedding. I never had a doubt he'd get the work done on time. If you are wondering what to get your groomsmen (or bridesmaids), look no further. This is the only bottle opener I plan on owning the rest of my life. Unless I get re-married, then I'll order a whole new set. read more

Matt at Northern Crescent Iron turns out top notch products. I've ordered dog ID tags, railroad spike knives, and bottle openers, and plan to order some cabinet furniture. Everything I've ordered so far has been perfect. The railroad spike items are unique, stout, and made to last. What I like best is Matt takes his skill and knowledge as a blacksmith and makes useful, yet beautiful pieces. Build to last, and made in America, you can't beat that. If I had the time I'd love to learn the blacksmith trade, I hope guys like Matt keep doing what they are doing, and it will make a resurgence in our culture. I found Northern Crescent Iron on Etsy when I was looking for a unique useful groomsman gift for guys that spend their days in the bush hunting, fishing and logging. I know they will love these knives and put them to good use. If your looking for high quality, made in America iron products then look no further, support the American small business and buy from Northern Crescent Iron. read more

I purchased a pair of hand forged cabinet handles from Northern Crescent Iron via their Etsy site...SOOO glad I did. These beauties were for a custom-made tray crafted out of reclaimed wood that a local artisan in my area (Bay Area Northern California) was creating for me. Not only were the handles a perfect match for this project, but their sturdy craftsmanship and forged elegant simplicity were the exquisite icing on the cake that my tray needed. Northern Crescent Iron provided prompt and courteous customer service (and even provided the screws to fasten the handles)!!! read more
