Mark continues his knife road trip adventure with a visit to Randall Made Knives in Orlando, Florida.  This was a special treat as he was able to walk through the Randall Museum with Jason Randall, who shared some fantastic detail and insight behind some of the knives in this truly vast collection.  Historical pieces, Randall oddities, ethnic knives, and of course the iconic knives that supported the early US Space program.  It was a pleasure, Jason and Caroline Randall were fantastic hosts.

Mark and Michael have a chat with purveyor, collector and Mastersmith knifemaker David Ellis of Exquisite Knives to talk about his knifemaking journey, collecting and some of the fantastic knife makers represented in his inventory and in his own collection.  Dave’s story is unique in that he’s an ABS Mastersmith who achieved that rank for his own reasons and has a journey with knives and making that is different from many others.  It was a great conversation and one we hope you’ll enjoy.
