  • Insightful!

    Insightful and in depth conversations about the craft of knife making form some of the most innovative and creative designers in the industry. For anyone who likes to hear creative people discuss the origins and the implementation of their art, it is truly eye opening. I feel like I could listen to anyone discuss something they’re this passionate about. The hosts are also extremely knowledgeable about the intricacies of knife crafting so the conversation is always enlightening.
