Episode 6

Episode 6: 50 Shades of (John) Gray

Today we are joined by knifemaker and Bigfoot lookalike John Gray. We talk a lot about his knives, and some of the more interesting anecdotes from his past (mostly involving bears). This was a pretty loose episode, so don't say we didn't warn you.

Wingding of the week: People funding knife-related Kickstarter/GoFundMe campaigns when they have no option of getting their money back (e.g., the Balzano/"Mars" situation). John provides a nice counterpoint of how it has been used successfully by reputable knifemakers.
