A good knife is probably the most useful and versatile tool you can have. In fact, humans were using knives to cut meat before they were cooking that meat over a fire. Mike Rowley has been interested in knife making since he was a child. A high school teacher in my hometown, Mike is self taught and has been honing his forging skills for the past 8 years. He competed on the History Channel’s show “Forged in Fire,” winning first place with a beautiful pair of tomahawks. Mike and I discuss what to look for in a good knife, how they’re forged and sharpened, and we bust some of the most common knife and metal misconceptions out there.
