(Bonus) Minisode: Krein Regrinds

Mark and Tom talk regrinds! We start with basic edge geometry and get into what a regrind is, why you might want one, when they work best, and when they don’t. Tom gives us some history about how long he’s been doing these and why they aren’t available on some knives and what kinds of limitations apply.

Episode 73: Switchblades and BB Guns

Author, collector and all-around enthusiast Neal Punchard joins us to talk about two truly fun topics. It seems most knife nerds have many life interests and experiences in common and who doesn’t remember their first time using a switchblade or their first BB gun. Part history, part throwback fun, we think there’s plenty here for most anyone to enjoy.
