The Good Ol' Blades PodcastThe Good Ol' Blades Micro Podcast - Social Media Sucks For KnifemakersI have been asked this question a lot, and it's to quantify the role social media plays in the knifemaking industry, and how to break away from reliance on it. Listen to the micro podcast, it should evoke some ideas as to how you'll personally go about this. Remember, a like or a follow does not equal a sale, and social media does not validate your own worth as a craftsman. It's important to have self-esteem and not rely on these social engines to make or break you, and I try to outline what is happening with these platforms...2024-04-1613 minThe Good Ol' Blades PodcastEpisode 42 - Fantasy Meets Function - Steven RamosSometimes I get the opportunity to talk to folks that make me think I don't have a lick of creativity in me.

As diverse as the knifemaking community is, at it's core, we all share a common bond, not of knives, but of our experiences that lead us to create, knifes being the creative medium we choose. This is no truer than for Tony Severio, a real Louisiana renaissance man.

Full BlastThe Turkish Delight: Mert TansuMert Tansu started as a college Basketball player who switched gears to the surprise of his family and started a career as a chef in fine dining. His passion for cooking brought him from Turkey to the US and on to his final destination in Australia. The natural progression from cooking to knifemaking made him one of the most respected knifemakers among his peers. It was a great talk and we covered a lot of ground in a shortened podcast.
