Mark of the Maker

What’s the most used knife in your house?  Chances are it’s a kitchen knife, and sometimes not a very good one!  We can help, and with some of our picks, we can dream.  In Episode 96, we each make some kitchen knife picks in a series of price ranges.  From affordable to “OH DAMN” we cover a lot of territory as usual.  Dust off the googlebox and join us for the ride.

Be sure to hit up American Metal Xchange for your titanium and exotic knifemaking material needs. And make plans for NOCKI, the New Orleans Custom Knife Invitational on May 6th!

The leaves are falling, the weather is turning cool and that means Fall is here! This time we take a swing at some picks for gear you might want to take on a fall hiking or camping trip, but with a twist. Fun one as always and you’ll want to have your search engine ready or join us in our FB group for pics.
