Thanks for listening to Episode 26 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Andy Billipp.
Andy is one of the makers I've followed the longest. He created a style, long ago, that has proved tried and true, mixing brute de forge with refined grinds and handle sculpting. He's one of a handful of makers whose work I wish I owned, particularly from a user's aspect, but also as an appreciator of well-made, finely-crafted tools. I can't wait to dive into his story and history. He's a farmer, a hunter, a maker, and an all around great guy.
