That journey isn’t always easy, and sometimes it doesn’t look like you thought it would when you get there. Another great chat with Rick, hope you enjoy it.

We revisit a theme from an early episode and pick some knives and makers that we think may be under-appreciated or or lesser known to chat about. Historical knives, art knives, modern knives – you name it. Give it a listen and hit us with your own picks, we’d love to hear about them.
