Knife Nuts Podcast Episode 65: Dead By Design
The Knife Nuts Podcast (minus Jake) is back for a pre-pre-Blade Show 2024 episode. With Blade looming on the horizon, and a sizeable break between episodes (expect nothing less from us), we go over some reason acquisitions, the three(!) production knives Brian has previewed or released since our last episode, discuss the Lehigh Valley Knife Show (which Levon is now a partial owner of), and finally touch on the recent Artisan Cutlery steel scandal. As always, thanks for sticking with us and thank you for listening!

Episode 64: More Than Just A Nub ft. Shawn Ashmore (Peace Neighbor)
It’s 2024, and the Knife Nuts Podcast miraculously makes it into a new year! In this episode, the Knife Nuts are joined by Shawn Ashmore,. an actor, knife enthusiast, and founder of the EDC tool company Peace Neighbor. While you may recognize him from the long running ABC series “The Rookie”, or Amazon’s “The Boys”, Shawn is a dyed in the wool knife enthusiast. His collection is exactly what you would expect from someone who took the time to learn about knives before buying. And his new EDC tool company, Peace Neighbor is no vanity project either; their first tool, the Archon, has been a thorough success and Shawn details all of the thought and refinement behind a seemingly simple little prybar. We discuss how he got into knives, his learning process, and where he is looking to take Peace Neighbor. It’s refreshing to hear someone so enthusiastic about this hobby, a stark contrast to the jaded Knife Nuts grumps.
Check out Peace Neighbor and Shawn’s current show, The Rookie!

Episode 63: I Would Rather Pump Gas
The Knife Nuts aren’t dead yet! Levon, Dave, Brian, and Jake are back and discuss a series of topics. including why the James Brand’s approach to marketing is so successful when seemingly every knife enthusiast despises them, the unfortunate closure of the Ontario Knife Company and what it means. We also check in with how things are in Sharp By Design land, and discuss the most recent KNP edition knife, the Scorpion themed Null Knives Voodoo (which will be given away soon!).

The Knife Nuts (minus Jake) are freshly back from the New York Custom Knife Show in New Jersey. Dave and Levon discuss the knives they handled, the trends they observed, and Brian gets very mad at Levon. We also discuss the ever-slowing delivery times on OEM work from Reate and how Brian and other people in the knife business are dealing with this. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please consider supporting the Knife Nuts Podcast by using our affiliate links: DLT Trading - https://dlt.link/3flRY2S GPKnives - https://bit.ly/3fH0iuh River’s Edge Cutlery - https://riversedgecutlery.com/?aff=5 ____________________________________________

Episode 57: Aerospace Canteloupe (CARBON PLATE IS A SCAM DO NOT BUY FROM CARBON PLATE)
In tonight's episode, Levon, Dave, and Brian take the time to address the situation with the run of Sharp by Design Mini Tempests and Carbon Plate's failure to deliver materials after taking $10,700 from Brian. DO NOT BUY FROM CARBON PLATE. If you know a knife maker who is considering buying from Carbon Plate, please warn them. There's still plenty of time for goofiness after addressing the elephant in the room, including the bizarre hostile takeover of Millit by Survive Knives. We also try and find some awful knife-related Christmas gifts to get the knife enthusiast in your life that you really don't like.

Episode 56: Hawkward ft. Grant & Gavin Hawk of Hawk Designs
In tonight's episode, we are joined by Grant & Gavin Hawk of Hawk Designs, the legendary father-son duo who has for two decades been at the forefront of innovation in folding knives. It has been eight(!) years since BladeHQ made their excellent documentary/shop tour about the pair (which you can view here), and a lot has changed. If you were shocked at how rustic their shop was in 2012, in 2021 it is beginning to resemble the science fiction image you might have had in your head.
We review their backstory with Grant, including some truly fantastic anecdotes about Reevus Christ himself, and then talk about the future of Hawk Design, which means full in-house production of the runaway success that is the Deadlock.

Episode 54: Regular Cab
In tonight's episode, Dave mispronounces a shark, Brian buys the wrong truck, Levon buys a ticket for a convertible plane ride, and Jake is alive.

Episode 53.5: Pivot to Video
In tonight’s bonus episode of the Knife Nuts Podcast and the first available in a video podcast format, Dave and Levon go over the 2021 new release catalogs that were missed in Episode 52, namely WE Knives, Civivi, and Kizer.

Episode 53: FDA ft. Serge Panchenko
In tonight's episode we are joined by Serge Panchenko of Serge Knives, a custom knife maker and purveyor of some of the most unique and interesting EDC gear out there. Serge has made everything from slipjoint razors (which he kindly donated to each of us) to pens to "wrist mazes". He's now working on bringing locking knives to the market via his production company, Serge Knife Co, and has even expanded into watch design. We talk through Serge's history and why his creativity seems to never wane.

Episode 52: Four Horsemen of the Knifepocalypse ft. Metal Complex
In tonight's episode, we're joined by YouTube knife reviewer Metal Complex to go over some of the newly revealed catalogs from the biggest knife manufacturers. Predictably, there isn't a lot positive to say. We also crown the "Four Horsemen of the Knifepocalypse", the worst four knives revealed in 2021 that are the harbingers of a seemingly bad year in knives. We also bring back Wingding of the Week for the first time in a while, the dubious honor going to Asher Knives for their blatant ripoff of the Benchmade Bugout.

In a special holiday edition of the Knife Nuts Podcast (what makes it special or a holiday edition we're not sure), we are joined by Joseph Vero of Vero Engineering, a knife designer whose popularity exploded in 2020. We learn of Joseph's intertwining history with the Knife Nuts Podcast, why he designs the way he does, and as always drag him through our own ridiculous content.
