Episode 114 Steve Does Japan with Steve Cornelsen of Bad Llama Forge cohoated by special guest Rick Marchand of Wilder Tools

Steve resides in a suburb of Toronto known as Caledon. He has been there almost his entire life, but has always had a fascination with the Eastern world. This has recently taken him on a world travel with his partner to Japan where they both visited many different knife makers and even took a course on traditional techniques.

This episode is a special one folks. Its taken us months to finally get it out as we had recorded over 3hrs but lost steves audio track to the Zencaster cloud. This recording took us a few nights to finally get the full story in, but we got Rick Marchard to sit in which makes it extra special!

We talk about all this and more in this episode of Forge Side Chat. Sit back and grab strange brew yah hoser. Oh, and good day, eh!

Don't hesitate to reach out and let us know what you think of the show!
