A Conversation With World Renowned Knife Maker Bill Harsey. Bill's knives are known around the world by special forces and high level operators.
Episode: https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/
Today, I welcome Bill Harsey, known worldwide for his award-winning knife designs for both special forces and the common man. Bill is a fourth-generation logger whose family moved to Oregon to make their way during the Great Depression. We also discuss his work in the Bull Run watershed, where a large wildfire occurred this fall. This area supplies the drinking water for all of Portland, Oregon.
Bill worked in the steep mountains of Oregon with heavy equipment before finding an interest in knife making after taking his dad’s flat file and trying to make a knife out of it as a boy. Bill has gone on to become one of Earth’s best knife designers used by special operators around the world.
We gave away one of Bill’s knives last year and will be doing another giveaway for paid subscribers this next week. Thanks to Bill and Spartan Blades for donating one of these incredible knives to our community. Bill has been a longtime supporter of the show and wildland firefighters nationwide.
Bill’s knives can be found in:
United States Army JFK Special Warfare Museum, Ft. Bragg, NC.
The US Army Airborne and Special Operations Museum, Fayetteville, NC.
The Official United States Navy UDT SEAL Museum, Ft. Pierce, Florida.
The International Knife Museum in Seki Japan.
