An Interview with Lance of Sniper Bladeworks

In a bit of a change from the normal format, Levon and Dave have a conversation with Lance Abernathy of the newly rebirthed Sniper Bladeworks, an award-winning custom knifemaking duo consisting of Lance and Jody Muller, that is now approaching the production knife market. We discuss Lance’s background in custom knives, his passion for collecting knives, and why they’ve decided to relaunch now as a production knife company.

Episode 45: 28 And Out

In tonight's episode, we're again joined by the incomparable friend of the show, Aaron Frederick of Frederick Knives. We talk about the Sebenza 31 and at length about the rescheduling of Blade Show. What starts out as typically dumb episode with Aaron turns quite serious, as Aaron talks about why he has been absent from knife making for the last couple months, and why he has kept trying not to be a knife maker. Consider it the Inside the Actor's Studio episode of Aaron Frederick.

New Acquisitions: Dave - Sebenza 31 Micarta Inlay, FreeTiger FT03, Bark River Scagel Medium Field Knife. Levon - WE Knives Snecx Mini Buster, St Nick's Knives eclusive Manix 2, BladeHQ exclusive Copper Giant Mouse Clyde, Cold Steel Voyager Kris

Episode 43: Swag Pack Sniping

On tonight's episode of the Knife Nuts Podcast, Jake's kids make a bunch of noise, Brian is angry at people for things, we all make fun of Levon for winning rigged lotteries, and Dave clicks with his mouse too much. Just because it's 2020 doesn't mean anything is going to change.

Episode 42: Trojan Termites

In classic Knife Nuts fashion, we're a little late in giving you our 2019 year-end wrap up. Instead of going over a list of formal awards like last year, we bounced from topic to topic going over the manufacturers we thought had great years, and those who had not so great years. Oh, and there's a very special guest on this episode whom Brian finally gets to confront.

Thanks as always to our sponsors Kizer Cutlery, St. Nick's Knives, and PVK Vegas.
