I'm pretty cynical about this kind of thing, but I listened to the Tom Krein episode and I liked it ok

I've listened to a couple here, not bad - it really depends on the guest

THANK YOU, COUNT! I used to listen to a lot of podcast but despite searching many times have never been able to find any on knife making. Thank you very much for posting these!

What is there to be cynical about?


There are a few other podcasts relating to knife making, or the knife industry in general. Behind the Blade, Knifenuts, and the now defunct Modern Neanderthal. I found episode 2 with Tom Krein on Mark of the Maker to be one of the best so far.

What is there to be cynical about?

I'm not sure if it will be something I'll like.
Sometimes I've got a low tolerance for stuff.


Annoying voices, running off at the mouth, political BS, too much politics, too much religion, all reasons I turn off the TV, all reasons for me to avoid a podcast.

John Grimsmo & John Saunders

I like this one because for the most part it's real and unscripted- not much selling.
It talks about the problems they hit and how they deal with it.

Saunders is sometimes "too happy"- too over the top Dale Carnagie and Tony Robbins style
He gets a little pushy telling Grimsmo what he "has to do"

Neither one are formally trained and accredited "real machinists", but hey they are both running businesses that take in more $ than I do.


But I think I've listened to all 45+

Oh ok, I understand what you mean. I totally agree with you as well.

I find most podcasts have some advertising or sponsors at the starting and end. All of which I skip over.

If you like war history check out Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History. I PROMISE you, you will not be dissapointed. It’s not a knifemaking podcast but it is really good.

I listened to the first couple Mark of the Maker podcasts, and I really hope this one takes off. I'm particularly interested in getting deeper into knife and maker history, but also in hearing perspective from actual makers, and not just "collectors" gabbing about how smooth their latest titanium framelock flipper is, or how well their latest uber steel "user" is holding up to cutting packing tape and "food prepping" their PBJ's, chicken tendies, and apple slices.

I know a lot of the "knifecasts" (as my wife affectionately refers to them) are really geared more towards collectors and enthusiasts, but I tend to enjoy the "maker interview" episodes a bit more in general, and don't need to hear about the same folder, fountain pen, mechanical watch or flashlight every episode.

Behind the Blade is another podcast from two knife makers. Its educational, but it feels like they are trying to do to much with it. Mark of the Maker is like you are in the room with them and part of the conversation.
