    Episode 62 | Grayson Jennings

    In our last episode of 2024, it was only fitting to invite a guy on the show who we both know, and who on previous episodes, have had a bit of fun at his expense. We had a great time with Grayson on this episode. He is one of the youngest makers of traditional pocket knives today and he also has some of the highest production numbers of any custom maker. We hope you enjoy the show and we thank everyone for the listens and support through the year!Support the showIf you enjoyed the episode, be...

    This was a fun episode! We had self-described "knife enthusiast" Alex Mazer on the show to talk about how he got into knives and what he collects.

Along the way, we got an insider's view on the world of autobody repair and even gave advice to Alex on starting a new business.Support the showIf you enjoyed the episode, be sure to give us some of those stars in your podcast app!Mike M...

    Episode 58 | Eric Albers Part II

    Eric is back a week later to rejoin the conversation on his journey in knives. On the last episode, we left off with Eric recounting his Canal Street Cutlery days and so that's where we pick back up. We get to hear Eric's perspective on the closing of Canal Street, some personal stories, and Mike tries to get to the bottom of the Schrade factory conspiracy. We (Mike) did get a little excited about shop talk, so we dive into some of the particulars of making knives. Neal does his best to get E...

    Episode 57 | Eric Albers Part I

    You guys are gonna love this episode. Eric joins us from upstate New York and talks about how he got into knives and eventually found himself at Canal Street Cutlery. We do our best to keep a chronological order to things, but our excitement got the best of us! One thing to note is that Eric may be the last in a line extending clear back to early Sheffield cutlers. From those famous and brave guys who got caught up in the Chartist Movement in England, to Matteawan, to New York Knife Co, to Wa...
