Podcast centered around slip joint making/traditional knife history - The Catch Bit Show

I've been catching up a bit..😁...with the new episodes whilst I"m bringing the empty bus home to the yard. Great to see pics of the things you guys are on about.
Cheers and keep em coming.👍
 
Thanks Duncan, 5DoorEstate, and meako, and thanks Charlie for posting those beautiful pictures of Rhidian's knives.

Here are a few pictures to go along with the last podcast on switchblade knives. These are from the book "Art of the Switchblade".

I enjoyed the Podcasts yesterday, I listened to Mike and Neal discussing the Switchblades and Neil's first Switchblade at 14 years old - what a great episode, I love the Banter between you guys.
While Priming the last of my plastering in the Lounge I also listened again the Mark Zalesky and a little part of his Journey! I haven't tired yet of replaying many of the episodes while waiting for the next.
I think Mark could be a great guest for many more episodes.

Those Knives are Stunning to say the very least Herder - That Nowill :eek:

Please tell me - that beautiful Woman in the Black and White Photo- did you sneak in a distant relative there Herder?
 
Thanks Duncan and yes, Mark from Knife Magazine was one of our favorite shows.
And that beautiful woman will remain a mystery for now... :)

Thanks Charlie, and here is one more, my first switchblade. A Japanese-made "Rizzuto Estileto Milano", the classic Mexican tourist knife.
Anyone else ever have one of these?

Great background shot!!! I wonder if "Rizuto" still makes those?? 😂
 
Just listened to the latest "Catchbit" with guest Myron Tupa, a talented old friend of Neal's, who I have had the pleasure of meeting at the Oregon Show over the years!!
Great episode!! It inspires the mind's eye!!
I hope we get some pictures soon!! ;)
 
Having seen Myron's all-wood constructed auto in person, I can assure you that it is a work of art! Someone like me can take a piece of stag and slap it on a knife, but it takes a true craftsman to create something so beautiful from scratch.

Also, having attended many NCCA shows over the years, I am always thoroughly impressed with the displays that Myron sets up. He's a great ambassador for cutlery history.

Hopefully Neal will share a pic of Myron's work soon!
 
I can only imagine going to those huge Knife shows and being able to see those kinds of displays! I envy each and every one of you!

I caught up with the latest show about Myron and his amazing work, always a great listen!

I really enjoyed the latest episode with William Schrade. I only wish we could have seen the knives he was sharing during the podcast!!!

Same with me!! The hosts painted nice word pictures, but one-of-a-kind knives, and prototypes (and displays) need to be seen!!!
How about some pics, Neal, Mike and William???
 
I enjoyed listening to Mike and Neal chatting in the American Cutler episode as well, just perfect when plugging away at the House, thank you to you both. I need to go back and find if / where we can download that PDF- shouldn't take long to look through around 800 pages?

While I am STILL working in our Lounge, the podcast is my immediate go to- I need to listen the Bill Schrade Episode again, I had the dustless Vacuum going in parts.
What a great guest once again Neal and Mike- I am sure that Bill could do several of these with you. If you could swing that wouldn't that be great!

Your guest list most certainly has had some World Class people in this amazing interest we are all involved in.
 
Thanks Glenn, Charlie, mrknife, and Duncan. Mike and I had a great time talking with Bill Schrade on the last podcast.
Bill (the great-grandson of George Schrade) told some wonderful stories about the Schrade Company, and he's quite a good knife maker as well.
Here are a few pictures to go along with that episode.
The first picture shows one of Bill's larger hand-made Pull Ball knives positioned below an original smaller version. Both are sitting on a book on George Schrade written in 1983.
The second picture shows one of Bill's mechanical machines. That electric-powered machine actually operates the knife shown.

I have always admired the mind of the Engineer - It stands that George Shrade was far more than that.

His name definitely deserves to be remembered.
 
Well, I have finally finished our lounge, and there have been many podcasts played as Sue and I went through our paces, a long time using the little spare time we had, but I can tell you, listening to the Catch Bit Show in there has been a blast.

It's Hammer time was great, Listening to Mike and Neal chatting away is always real interesting - always with a bit of a chuckle thrown in, Love it!

David Valdivieso - Guys like him and our Glenn, boy ... I imagine their Heart beats at times as they journeyed through working on customers knives, and to have the skills they have, having both Glenn and David on the show- must attract the Knife Knuts from every tier level - as the greater percentage of them always wants some work done on their Knives in some way or another.

Charlie! Like Neal and Mike said, the most popular guest a knife Podcast could ever have , please keep coming back Charlie- its always awesome listening to you, Neal and Mike.
I think its time to star from the beginning episode again and play them through while waiting for new episodes to arrive. Charlies City Stockman is sure to be rounded up real quick, I am super excited as I managed to Coral one, and eagerly await its arrival to the shores of NZ.
