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. It also brings the very first full episode of the Knife Nuts Podcast to video, check out our YouTube channel to watch it. We discuss Brian's Mini Tempest pre-order, the Knife Joy Slysz Bowie release and the furor surrounding it, the passing of Dr. David Darom, and of course there's some totally off topic stories thrown in. Don't worry, the audio based version of the podcast isn't going anywhere!

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. The audio quality might be a little worse in this episode as this was our first test of the new software to enable video recording,

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.

Episode 51: Space Sharks ft. Vero Engineering

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.

An Interview with Lance of Sniper Bladeworks

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.
