Episode 45

Episode 45: 28 And Out

In tonight's episode, we're again joined by the incomparable friend of the show, Aaron Frederick of Frederick Knives. We talk about the Sebenza 31 and at length about the rescheduling of Blade Show. What starts out as typically dumb episode with Aaron turns quite serious, as Aaron talks about why he has been absent from knife making for the last couple months, and why he has kept trying not to be a knife maker. Consider it the Inside the Actor's Studio episode of Aaron Frederick.

New Acquisitions: Dave - Sebenza 31 Micarta Inlay, FreeTiger FT03, Bark River Scagel Medium Field Knife. Levon - WE Knives Snecx Mini Buster, St Nick's Knives eclusive Manix 2, BladeHQ exclusive Copper Giant Mouse Clyde, Cold Steel Voyager Kris

Episode 43: Swag Pack Sniping

On tonight's episode of the Knife Nuts Podcast, Jake's kids make a bunch of noise, Brian is angry at people for things, we all make fun of Levon for winning rigged lotteries, and Dave clicks with his mouse too much. Just because it's 2020 doesn't mean anything is going to change.

Episode 42

Episode 42: Trojan Termites

In classic Knife Nuts fashion, we're a little late in giving you our 2019 year-end wrap up. Instead of going over a list of formal awards like last year, we bounced from topic to topic going over the manufacturers we thought had great years, and those who had not so great years. Oh, and there's a very special guest on this episode whom Brian finally gets to confront. 

Thanks as always to our sponsors Kizer Cutlery, St. Nick's Knives, and PVK Vegas.

Episode 40: Absolutely Ridiculous: Very Very Stupid

In tonight's episode: Jake reveals he's a large-scale guy, Brian talks at length about candy, Levon dances, and Dave talks about Gogurt. We also tackle questions from our AMA, hosted by the official Knife Nuts Podcast subreddit. We answer a range of questions, most on the topic of knives, but a few totally off-topic ones as well. Stick around at the end (if you're metal enough!) to hear our new Black Metal theme song!

Episode 39

Episode 39: Thin Fingers and Low T

In tonight's episode, Jake reads something, Levon beseeches you to not slide into DM's, Brian says something dicey again, and Dave probably miscalculates how hard it is to get from South Africa to the US.

We also explore Levon's numerous new acquisitions over the last month, and Jake gets the opportunity to talk about his long desired Real Steel Harrier. In addition, we cover some of the newly announced Spyderco discontinued list and discuss the ongoing PayPal account freezing scare.

Episode 38: BGC (Before Good China)

In tonight's episode, Brian takes a well deserved vacation so Adam Purvis of APurvis Blades hangs out with us to discuss our pre-podcast knife collections in detail. We reminisce about our best and worst decisions early on, reflect on some early grails we never achieved, and sprinkle in some talk about newer knives.
