    Interview with Lucas O'Hara

    Thanks for listening to Episode 35 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Lucas O'Hara. Lucas O'Hara is probably best known for his outdoor and everyday carry (EDC) knives. He served in the military, has a background in private security, and uses these experiences to bring a particular sense of discipline and business acumen to his knifemaking. Lucas is a great guy who has a lot of useful insight to share with this community. And, as he's just getting into chef's knives, it will be fun to watch as that journey unfolds. I am excited for all of you to get to know Lucas, as I've gotten to know him over the last few years, and dive into his journey with me.

    Interview with Grace Horne

    Thanks for listening to Episode 33 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Grace Horne. I have admired Grace's work for over half a decade. She's a multifaceted maker who produces work from varying disciplines. As a cutler, she has spent the majority of her time in the craft specializing in the history and making of scissors and shears. I am very excited to dive into her background, and find out what led her down this path.

    Interview with Joyce Kutty

    Thanks for listening to Episode 32 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Joyce Kutty. I only met Joyce a year ago, but she has quickly become one of my favorite makers. With a background in woodworking and non-ferris metal work, she brings an understated elegance to her work that I really admire. She is also a very talented angler and chef, which informs her design and gives her a unique perpective. I am really looking foward to finding out more about her story, and sharing that with you!

    Interview with Abie Lyons

    Thanks for listening to Episode 31 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Abie Lyons. I discovered Abie's work about 4 years ago, when I was drawn to the functionality and practicality of her designs, and have been a fan ever since. She is known for her folding knives and her EDC fixed blades. I was fortunate to meet her at Blade Show 2023, and I'm excited to get to know her more in this interview through her background, history, and how she got into knifemaking.

    Interview with Dan Bidinger

    Thanks for listening to Episode 30 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Dan Bidinger. I first met Dan in 2019 at the Blade West Show in Portland, Oregon. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of his work. He had only been a maker for a couple of years at that point, and his handle shapes and blade geometry were very good for a new maker, and he's only gotten better as one of the pioneers of the B-grind. He has taken compound blade geometry to the next level, and makes some of the highest performing and best cutting knives I've ever used.

He truly excels in making San Mai as well as Mosaic Damascus Chef Knives. He's also done a lot of really commendable work to collaborate with craftspeople of varying disciplines to support the greater culinary industry.
