This week Matt and Albert are (NOT) talking about super secret projects. They are talking belt sizes, grinders, books, and why life and podcasting without Keith has never been better.

This week's show is NOT about knives, bladsmithing and the like. Ben, Matt and Albert talk about kids, religion, politics, and philosophy. And all of this is Keith's fault, because he wasn't here to prevent all this from happening.

This week it's Matt and Toby Murrill from the Fire and Steel Podcast. They talk about how they've met, their love for one another, and their recent honeymoon in the USA.

We invited Richard Schultz blacksmith, knife maker and systemic family therapist to this weeks episode. Don't worry though he didn't evaluate us or else it would have been a really long episode!

You can find Richard on Instagram, linkedin, and YouTube.
