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.

Thank you to our sponsors PVK, River's Edge Cutlery, and St. Nick's Knives

An Interview with Lance of Sniper Bladeworks

In a bit of a change from the normal format, Levon and Dave have a conversation with Lance Abernathy of the newly rebirthed Sniper Bladeworks, an award-winning custom knifemaking duo consisting of Lance and Jody Muller, that is now approaching the production knife market. We discuss Lance’s background in custom knives, his passion for collecting knives, and why they’ve decided to relaunch now as a production knife company.
