Mark of the Maker

Personal schedules have been crazy for the crew but we found time right after Blade Show 2023 to get together for a chat and to catch up. We talk vacation, New Orleans Show, and Blade Show and hear about some great finds and new things that caught our eye. It’s been a minute, thanks all for sticking with us!

Sean takes Mark on a trip into the world of Warhammer 40k to talk edged weapons. What’s Warhammer 40k? Why are you talking about this on a knife podcast?! What in the name of Kharn is a chain axe!?? Also, NERDS!!!!?! Yes, yes – we answer those questions and more and talk about some crazy weaponry found in this grim, dark, future world.

We take a shot at our next History “Combosode” – a collection of shorter knife history spots, one from each of us on the team. Four legendary makers and a little bit about their stories: John Nelson Cooper, Bob Engnath, Bud Nealy and D. E. “Ed” Henry. Hope you find something interesting and maybe learn a cool piece of knife history along the way!
