The crew chats on a topic that is near and dear to Sean’s heart – Knives in Music.  This one is a picks episode that goes in a few directions, which is very on-brand for us.  Some of these are specific knives, some are a style and some are actual physical knives related to music.  Eclectic?  That’s us!

We managed to get the band back together to revisit an old favorite topic of ours – knives of the movies. Some of you will remember Episode 10, wayyy back in 2018? We take another run at this topic and make some picks of more cool knives from the world of the movies. Super fun, and a few laughs along the way as usual.
