Episode 53 - Loveless, Labors, Lost - John Denton

Saison 2 · Épisode 53

vendredi 16 août 2024 • Durée 02:06:13

Arguably R.W. Loveless is one of, if not the most influential knife maker and designer in the last century. Bob's designs are some of the most copied and reproduced in the market today, and you can see his impact on knife making in a majority of knives made as well.

Bob was an enigmatic man, as notable for his generosity as his tantrums, and those who knew him personally either loved, loathed, or did business out of love and trepidation.

It's hard to decouple the man, the myth, the legend of Bob Loveless from the personality, but I think that's why I needed to talk to John Denton about his long relationship with Bob, his dad J.W. Denton's legacy in business, and John's personal history of collecting. With Bob passing away in 2010, John is the closest we get to the horses mouth, as he and his father not only were close to Bob, but were the foremost collectors and dealers for his work. Today, John still deals in Loveless knives, and has handled probably more pieces of his shops work than anyone on earth.

You can find available knives and John's book on Bob Loveless on his Website.

Episode 52 - Striking Knife Gold - Jim Sornberger

Saison 2 · Épisode 52

lundi 22 juillet 2024 • Durée 02:16:22

I find that every time I talk to the old guard of knifemaker, how fortunate I am to be in a time where knowledge is so accessible.

For the pioneers in custom and handmade knives, every ounce of knowledge could be attributes to an egregious amount of "want to", in order to get anything done.

For the OG knifemaker that's stood the test of time like Jim Sornberger, that want to has been married with an undying passion for knives and art, that's managed to weather a lot of storms since the 70s.

Probably best known for his California gold rush period style, San Francisco dress knives, canes and native gold and quartz work, Jim has carried a legacy of an aesthetic that could have easily died out had it not been for him, and a few like him.

Additionally, Jim has been a bastion of supporting the craft through his historical research, documentation and education for the better part of 50 years. Magazines, books, video, social media, podcasts, he's adopted whatever medium he can to breath renewed life into the craft, and that's why I wanted to talk to him so much.

We all as knifemakers take for granted the information we can get on learning how to make things, but we often forget that context of information matters a lot, and someone line Jim, even for growing older, has a mind like a steel trap for details.

You can find Jim's extraordinary work on his Website, and some of his writing archive for Knife Magazine on their Website, as well as the writeup to his induction into The Cutlery Hall of Fame on Blade Magazine's Website.

The Good Ol' Blades Micro Podcast - Social Media Sucks For Knifemakers

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

mardi 16 avril 2024 • Durée 13:54

I have been asked this question a lot, and it's to quantify the role social media plays in the knifemaking industry, and how to break away from reliance on it. Listen to the micro podcast, it should evoke some ideas as to how you'll personally go about this. Remember, a like or a follow does not equal a sale, and social media does not validate your own worth as a craftsman. It's important to have self-esteem and not rely on these social engines to make or break you, and I try to outline what is happening with these platforms in the context of knifemaking to help shed some light on why it's really a losing battle to invest too much of yourself in a medium that matters very little.

Episode 43 - Frontiering Functional Art - Shawn Shropshire

Saison 2 · Épisode 43

lundi 15 avril 2024 • Durée 01:46:19

At the end of April, the Oklahoma Knife Group (Previously the Knife Group Association of Oklahoma (KGA)) will be hosting its knife show. And on the doorstep of that, I thought it'd be great to talk to Shawn Shropshire - President, and talk about the group, their over 25 years of association, and its growth over the past several years after it's rebrand. But, what I really wanted to dig into was Shawn's particular avenue of knives, including his work in frontier knives. With over 20 years of knifemaking under his belt, the thing that strikes me about Shawn is his love of knife education and history, which bleeds into every aspect of his making. Along with his accomplice Deke Parker, Shawn has started the Wandering Bladesmith, where they travel and experience the world of knives and making across the globe. I can't say enough good things about Shawn, he's a gentleman, scholar, and all around great guy, and I got to spend some time getting a more in-depth picture of all of this on the show!

Check out Shawn on social media with his Instagram, Facebook, as well as The Wandering Bladesmith IG, and give a follow to the Oklahoma Knife Group on Instagram and Facebook!

Episode 42 - Fantasy Meets Function - Steven Ramos

Saison 2 · Épisode 42

jeudi 28 mars 2024 • Durée 01:29:26

Sometimes I get the opportunity to talk to folks that make me think I don't have a lick of creativity in me. Well...Probably more than sometimes. But that's what's cool about being a podcast host in this particular vein of knifemaking, that I get to immerse myself in the conversations of people that inspire me, at the same time get me introspective. Steven Ramos is one of those guys that just exudes cool ideas and a talent to articulate them in steel and stone, and I sometimes envy the austere yet passionate way he conveys his love of what he does. We may one day see his work in the same galleries as knifemaking legends like Buster Warenski, and it's cool to get to talk to someone who's so down to earth, and really just trying to push themselves to express what they see in their inner eye. Get to know Steven, because that's exactly what I did.

You can find Steven on social media such as Instagram and Facebook, and maybe at a knifeshow near you.

Episode 41 - Lucky Lucky - John Horrigan

Saison 2 · Épisode 41

samedi 9 mars 2024 • Durée 01:33:10

John Horrigan is one of those men that makes you better by being in his presence. A true blue God fearing American, that holds his knife art in humble regards, but his reverence for the craft of knifemaking with great esteem. Maybe at first I thought John was unapproachable because of this, but he's one of the kindest and most thoughtful people out there, and really shines bright in our industry. It's not a wonder that he's won awards, achieved Master Smith with the ABS, is a member of The Knifemakers' Guild, or is generally acknowledged as one of the premier art knife makers of the industry. He screams excellence, but it comes from a very introspective and inventive place. John constantly challenges himself, and his encouragement and words of wisdom in this episode really is an inspiration for anyone trying to find their way around this big world we call knife making.

You can find John on Social Media such as Instagram and Facebook, and also find more out about him on his Website.

Episode 40 - From Farrier to Knife Famous - Kelly Vermeer Vella

Saison 2 · Épisode 40

jeudi 7 mars 2024 • Durée 01:21:58

Kelly Vermeer Vella is a rare bird, because as high as she soars, she still seems to have two feet firmly planted on the ground. In every success, award, and other achievement I see her get, I am always rooting for her. Probably because she represents the underdog in her demeanor, and also embodies the superstar. This kind of enigma in knife culture is what drew me to her work, and wanting to have her as a guest on the show. Who doesn't want to get to know someone who seems to be untainted by fame, and as down to earth and humble as if she's the newcomer on a very established scene? Kelly deserves every eye on her, and more, and getting to see her creations is like watching a chef invent and allow the tasting of a new banger of a recipe. You'll enjoy her, we all do.

Follow Kelly on her social media, and join us fly on the walls watching her fame unfold. You can find her on Instagram and Facebook.

Episode 39 - Encapsulating Magic - Dellana

Saison 1 · Épisode 39

vendredi 19 janvier 2024 • Durée 02:51:26

The cat's out of the bag, and in the inaugural FIRST PODCAST for Dellana...EVER, I got to sit down with her and talk about some heavy-hitting ideas in how to conjure up the stuff that mesmerizes and enchants us all. Dellana has made an international name for herself in both her jewelry and knife art for the last 48+ years, and is still busy creating some of them most gobsmacking artwork in the knife industry. Her ease of conversation and profound wisdom is timeless, and her vivacious energy and passion for expression is intoxicating. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to one of the greatest living knifemakers, and one of the most down to earth, humble and helpful people I know. If you enjoy digging in deep to the psychology and spirituality of creating things, this is the episode for you. I can't express enough how much I love this person. She's a true gem and an asset to anyone pondering the meaning of life in art knives.

You can find Dellana on Instagram, Facebook, and see her works on her Website as well. Frankly, type in Dellana in any search engine and you'll be blown away.

Episode 38 - High & Tight Knives - Neal Green

Saison 1 · Épisode 38

vendredi 12 janvier 2024 • Durée 02:15:25

I've always admired the military man because of the regimen and order that encapsulates the service. Neal Green embodies his career in the U.S. Army in his knives in a way that follows a structured and clean look, but also gives way to his creative eye by allowing him to play with themes and materials, to juxtapose order in an otherwise chaotic medium. His knives and leatherwork are some of the cleanest out there for a "new" knifemaker, and his personality and enthusiasm for the craft is a tide that levels all boats. I got to spend some quality time with him, peaking a little further behind the curtain than he shares on social media, and we talked about some core ideologies, interests and goals that I think unite all of us in this craft.

You can find Neal on Instagram, and his Website, and I recommend you pick up one of his very reasonably priced knives. They're superb quality.

Episode 37 - Second to None - Bob Terzuola

Saison 1 · Épisode 37

lundi 4 décembre 2023 • Durée 02:13:19

Part of this vocation of podcasting is really being able to nerd out over my heroes. The other, of course, is to act as an archivist for what will assuredly be some of the few conversations the world will get with legendary figures in knives. Though I hope that in every conversation, there stems more and more, and we get to keep national knife treasures like Bob Terzuola for a long time, the reality is, we all move on from this life. This sobering reality gives me pause, and frames my desire to get in as many of those conversations as possible. Bob isn't a stranger to being interviewed, written about, videotaped, etc. But with every moment, we get a different perspective into his mind, and his life, and what matters to him at that point. Sure, his knife journey is fascinating to me, but some of the most heart warming moments were spent talking about his parents, and the growth of jade carving in South America, that are a big part of Bob's legacy. He's a gem that we'll never really get enough of, and I loved getting to spend time with him. I hope you listening to him will leave you with the same feeling.
