Episode 18: Big Country Big D*** ft. Aaron Frederick of Frederick Knives

On tonight's episode, we're joined by veteran custom knifemaker Aaron Frederick, one of the most colorful personalities in the knife industry. Buckle up, it's going to be a rollercoaster of homoeroticism, self-deprecation, and some fantastic insider stories from Aaron. We also learn about his origins, and future directions for his Trash Panda line. Aaron and his knives can be found on his website and on his Instagram page.

Stick around after the outro music for 20 minutes of behind the scenes raw recordings of us trying to set the episode up with Aaron. It's worth it to hear where tonight's title comes from.

Episode 64 Bonus

Episode 64: More Than Just A Nub ft. Shawn Ashmore (Peace Neighbor)

It’s 2024, and the Knife Nuts Podcast miraculously makes it into a new year! In this episode, the Knife Nuts are joined by Shawn Ashmore,. an actor, knife enthusiast, and founder of the EDC tool company Peace Neighbor. While you may recognize him from the long running ABC series “The Rookie”, or Amazon’s “The Boys”, Shawn is a dyed in the wool knife enthusiast. His collection is exactly what you would expect from someone who took the time to learn about knives before buying. And his new EDC tool company, Peace Neighbor is no vanity project either; their first tool, the Archon, has been a thorough success and Shawn details all of the thought and refinement behind a seemingly simple little prybar. We discuss how he got into knives, his learning process, and where he is looking to take Peace Neighbor. It’s refreshing to hear someone so enthusiastic about this hobby, a stark contrast to the jaded Knife Nuts grumps.

Check out Peace Neighbor and Shawn’s current show, The Rookie!

Episode 64

Episode 63: I Would Rather Pump Gas

The Knife Nuts aren’t dead yet! Levon, Dave, Brian, and Jake are back and discuss a series of topics. including why the James Brand’s approach to marketing is so successful when seemingly every knife enthusiast despises them, the unfortunate closure of the Ontario Knife Company and what it means. We also check in with how things are in Sharp By Design land, and discuss the most recent KNP edition knife, the Scorpion themed Null Knives Voodoo (which will be given away soon!).
