We’ve talked in previous episodes about Dave Brown’s work under his mark Vasana Bladeworks, and this time Dave took the time to chat with us about his life and his work. Great insights into his background, this knifemaking process and why his work covers lots of territory and multiple genres. Dave was a pleasure to chat with, we think you’ll enjoy the conversation.

Dr. Rachel Parikh joins us again, this time for a deep dive into her favorite category of South Asian weapon – The Katar. You’ll want to have a web browser handy as Rachel gives accession numbers for each of the pieces she talks about and there are details you won’t want to miss. Rachel is a joy to chat with so this one’s a fun and informative discussion, much like when she joined us last.

It’s almost here, and who doesn’t love summer? We put together a “picks” episode for a few categories and as usual, end up taking the long way around the barn. Customs, production, obscure – we’re all over the map. What would YOU pick for each of these summer knife categories? We’d love to hear your picks too, we always miss a few good ones!
