Join Mike ("Old Man Folders"), Chuke ("Mall Ninja Kid"), and their un named producer for the inaugural episode of their knife and firearms podcast, recorded in the studio beneath Northern Knives shop. Buffalo Bore, Bigfoot & Cryptid HuntingChu kicks things off with his incredible interview with Tim Sundles, founder of Buffalo Bore Ammunition. Sundles doesn't hold back—he openly discusses his belief in Bigfoot and Dog Man, shares stories of hunters who've encountered these cryptids, and declares he'll hunt one himself. When the feds inevitably show up to confiscate the body (as he claims they always do), there will be "bloodshed." It's a refreshingly unfiltered conversation with someone who truly doesn't care what anyone thinks.Shot Show & Area 51 AdventureThe hosts preview their upcoming Shot Show trip, but Chu has bigger plans. He and New York Prepper are ditching the convention halfway through to explore the back gate of Area 51 and climb Tikaboo Peak—one of the only legal vantage points to view the secretive base. Armed with survival knives, thermals, and telephoto lenses, they're more excited about this adventure than the show itself.Glock Gen 6 First ImpressionsMike shares his hands-on experience with the new Glock Gen 6, discussing the improved frame, baby beaver tail, better stippling, undercut trigger guard, and factory features that previously required expensive aftermarket modifications. The hosts debate whether it's enough to compete with ZEV and Shadow Systems.Suppressors & The End of Tax StampsWith tax stamps eliminated, the hosts discuss their recent suppressor purchases (with approval times down to just 2-5 days) and debate whether the system will get overwhelmed. Mike shares his SBR project plans, including dreams of an HK G3 with collapsible stock and suppressor.Knife Industry Hot TakesThe crew doesn't hold back on their industry opinions: Death to outdated 2010-era "theme carry" photos with matching hanks, knives, and watchesChinese knives mostly suck (except the Microtech/Rike Socom Bravo collaboration)O-Light makes decent flashlights but terrible knives with cult-like followersZT's redemption arc with their new Micarta auto in Cruwear—the first ZT in years worth buyingMagnacut is overrated; Cruwear is superiorNon-reversible or proprietary knife clips are unforgivable design sinsNorthern Knives Shop StoriesThe hosts paint a vivid picture of life at Northern Knives, where customers try to sell gold teeth, rare Cold Steel Emperor sets slip through their fingers, and every day brings weird swords, unusual trades, and characters straight out of a reality show. Pocket Dumps & Grail KnivesEach host shares their current EDC setup, from Mike's custom Cerakoted Strider SSMF and IWC Aqua Master watch to Chu's fully serrated Microtech Socom Bravo and XM-24. They discuss their "grail knives"—the pieces they'd buy instantly if they appeared at reasonable prices, including the Seabert-designed Benchmade Gold Class double action and the legendary Cold Steel Emperor Tanto set. Knife Fight Reality CheckThe episode wraps with a sobering discussion about knife fights: Rule #1, #2, and #3 are all "don't get in a knife fight." You don't win—you just determine how badly you get cut. This unfiltered, conversational episode sets the tone for what promises to be an entertaining podcast series covering knives, firearms, gear, and the occasional cryptid hunt.
