Sean had some special fighting knives he wanted to talk about in light of our recent deep dive into Part I of Fighting Knives, so he got together with Mark and Michael to have a look together. Some great pieces in here and with some interesting history to boot. Late in the episode, Burch takes us on another quick trip through the BudK reviews of some fighters. As always, check our Facebook group for a visual companion to our picks for this fun episode.

Our buddy Tyler Holden sat down with us to talk about his life and his collecting journey.  Tyler brings an interesting collector’s perspective that we think you’ll find insightful.  Like many, his interests have evolved over the years and you eventually find your niche and your people.  Give it a listen when you have a moment, and we hope you find it as enjoyable as we did when we recorded together.

It’s the start of Season 9 for Mark of the Maker so we look back a bit at 2025, talk about some challenges we all faced and then look forward to 2026 and our goals for the new year. 2025 was kind of a rollercoaster! We dig into shows, touch on trends, and chat about plans for where we all plan to be this year.

We wind out the last of Season 8 with a Holiday Picks episode, as we often do. Four categories, three picks each, and lots of laughs as well as some amazing knives to check out. Some are stinkers, some are gems but all will likely make you say “oh yeahhhh” or “oh no…” Hope you have as much fun listening to this one as we did recording it. Thanks for riding with us for another season, stay tuned for more in Season 9!
