We had a great Episode early in

Ben Kamon Rides Again!

Full Blast ·

2023/09/01

Ben Kamon is one of the most innovative custom knifemakers in the world. I’ve had him on the show before and we’ve covered a lot of ground. I’m convinced his experience as a blacksmith and fabricator has informed his decisions especially when it comes to problem solving. Knife makers with broad experience in metalworking and fabrication tend to not be confined by construction orthodoxy. Great conversation talking business, the pitfalls of installation and a love/hate letter to the cursed Right Angle

What can I do… last week’s episode was lost.

Jared Thatcher is one of my favorite people. It’s been a while since he’s been back because his didn’t have internet. I believe in my heart that he ran for mayor of his town ,and won just to get internet. It’s very possible. Jared is the the Bladesmith of Boothill Blades. He also runs his family farm Three Daughters Farm, with his wife Kylee who also makes beautiful carved wood utensils at Boothill Kitchen. If that wasn’t enough, in the last year Jared started training British Labradors and created

Leah Aripotch is Back! I’m such a fan of her work; the intensity, intricate control, command of material and fearlessness. But I think I’m more of a fan of the person she is. Leah is very self aware and understands what she needs to do to find happiness. When it comes to mental health and addressing it in a positive way Leah is very proactive and puts in the work.

Before social media, there was a concern about how forging will flourish in the future. There were lots of organizations, guilds and small groups devoted to people in the community, but how do you get more exposure to the general public? With the rise of social media, more talented blacksmiths, blade smiths and farriers are exposing to the world the beauty of forging. And if thats the case, right now a lot of them have seen it being done by Riley Kirkpatrick. Riley is a very skilled Farrier and

This was an episode I’ve been thinking about for a while. I spent time remembering my Uncle Jay St. John and told funny stories in his memory. He was a huge part of my upbringing, always joking and encouraging me to swing at pitches. Very funny memories and I may have gone too far. Haha. I had some dream revelations and talked about the great our pouring of kind words from the last episode with my daughter.
