Episode 110: Shane Sibert

We sit down with top tier knifemaker Shane Sibert and talk knives and knifemaking. Shane’s journey and his knifemaking process is a little different than some others, but without question he’s one of the modern greats and the knives that come out of his relatively basic shop are truly outstanding.

As always, see our friend George at American Metal Xchange for your titanium and exotic knifemaking material needs. Be sure to check out the latest from our friends at Giant Mouse Knives and their Blade Show award-winning GMX.

Bob Terzuola’s new 11-part knifemaking series “A Sharp Life” and the subscription series “Shop Talk” will be available soon at Terzuola.net for those wanting to learn more and get tips on knifemaking from a true living legend.

Episode 108: Dr. Jim Lucie

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.

Episode 106: If I Knew Then…

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.
