Episode 96: Kitchen Knife Picks

Mark of the Maker is a panel discussion with renowned custom knife makers Tom Krein, Sean Kendrick and Michael Burch, and hosted by Mark Stheiner.  The format is much like a group of friends sitting around in The Pit at Blade Show, talking knives - a look at life from the perspective of the maker as well as the collector.  Covering broader topics such as tactical knife history, trends, industry commentary and influences of social media, as well as conversations with other knifemakers, collectors and notable figures in and around the custom knife world.

Good Stuff

Awesome stuff guys. Great to hear some history and honest talk on making and the industry.

Bob Terzuola

We know he feels a little uncomfortable with these kinds of terms, but to describe knifemaker Bob Terzuola as anything other than a "living legend" would be a disservice, in our opinion.  Bob leads us through his personal timeline and shares many fantastic stories along the way.  We also get some insights into the upcoming release of the much anticipated 2nd Edition of his book about knife making, "The Tactical Folding Knife."  Check out our Patreon and follow us on Instagram @markofthemaker or join our discussion group on Facebook for more conversation.
