Episode 29: David Sharp

In Episode 29, we welcome David Sharp back to Mark of the Maker.  David was kind enough to help us with our Loveless history episode and this time we talk with David about his own knifemaking journey. We talk about David’s background, his unique path into knifemaking, his preferences in design and style and a bit about what makes him tick outside the knife world.

Episode 27: Show Etiquette Remixed

Blade Show is coming up fast, so we wanted to revisit the topic of show etiquette. Knife shows are a great experience, both for knives and for the social aspect. The first 30 minutes of this episode is new content and the addition of some topics we didn’t catch last time. The remainder is a remastered version of Episode 11, dedicated to show etiquette.
