Eric is back a week later to rejoin the conversation on his journey in knives. On the last episode, we left off with Eric recounting his Canal Street Cutlery days and so that's where we pick back up. We get to hear Eric's perspective on the closing of Canal Street, some personal stories, and Mike tries to get to the bottom of the Schrade factory conspiracy. We (Mike) did get a little excited about shop talk, so we dive into some of the particulars of making knives. Neal does his best to get Eric to agree to do a set aside of "Maker's Select" knives - we'll have to see if that happens! Hope you ..read more

You guys just had to suspect that we would eventually have our friend Bill on the show. Bill is the great-grandson of George Schrade, one of the finest American knife inventors that there ever was. Bill carries on the knife-making legacy, and continues to make one of the switchblades that George invented. We had a nice chat with Bill on what he's up to today and we even hear some great stories from his childhood.  During the show we referenced both Bill's website and a video he was featured in by the current iteration of Schrade.

You guys are gonna love this episode. Eric joins us from upstate New York and talks about how he got into knives and eventually found himself at Canal Street Cutlery. We do our best to keep a chronological order to things, but our excitement got the best of us! One thing to note is that Eric may be the last in a line extending clear back to early Sheffield cutlers. From those famous and brave guys who got caught up in the Chartist Movement in England, to Matteawan, to New York Knife Co, to Walden Knife Co, to Schrade, to Canal Street, and perhaps the last man standing - Eric Albers. Eric's we ..read more

Charlie's with us at the close of summer. As he starts his 80th year he joins us to talk about his new knife called the City Stock Knife. Of course Charlie couldn't help but meander into what knives he's picked up over the summer. Lots of pocket knife history "tid-bits" were thrown out in this episode by Neal and Charlie for us to gobble up! Neal even makes a bold statement on the "perfect" pocket knife and Mike tries to claim that the old Schrade factory sat on a toxic dump site. You guys listen and decide! One note on this episode - Neal came out strongly against GEC's "faux pas" of callin ..read more
