Those of you familiar with the Scagel story (and our podcast on the topic) will also be familiar with the book Scagel Handmade, written by Dr. James Lucie.  Dr. Lucie was not only the worlds foremost collector and expert on Scagel knives, but a truly interesting person and knifemaker in his own right.   His daughter Stephanie Lucie joins us to help tell her father’s story and we walk together through her book “Dr. Jim Lucie: A Bladesmith’s Life & Legacy.”  We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!”

It’s that time of year – Halloween is nearly here!  This year we put together a picks episode, with some “treats” aka affordable knives that you’d be happy to give out to a friend and a few “tricks” as well.  Our browser histories will never be the same, and after this one, neither will yours.

Have you ever asked yourself “if you could give some advice to the younger you, what would you tell them?” For Episode 106, we did exactly that, focused on knifemaking and collecting. A little bit of self reflection, a little bit of “Get Off My Lawn” and a little bit of fun along the way.

We enjoy a great discussion on knifemaking and a passion for learning with Mathew Boisvert.  You may recognize Mat’s name, as we have mentioned him a few times previously on the show.  He’s a newer maker but has taken his craft to new levels quickly through innovation and a love of learning and problem solving.

We sit down with our friends Billy Cho and Nick Rolfe to talk about the recent Pacific Northwest Custom Invitational show that they put on in Seaside, Oregon. By all accounts it was a great show, so we dig into what went right, what could have been better, and what the challenges look like when putting together a knife show like this.
