Episode 20: You're Never Too Old For Crayons!!! ft Matt Diskin

In tonight's episode, we're joined by a name you probably recognize but know little about, and if you don't know his name you certainly know the knives he has provided materials for. Matt Diskin is a talented custom knifemaker best known for his recent double action offerings like the Fire, Wheel, or Revolution, but also owns one of the most important carbon fiber companies in the knife industry, Fibersmith.

Matt provides some exclusive information about the history of the ZT0777, and some more insight into the materials knife companies choose. We also get into some general topics talking about his production collaborations and his views on how the custom market has changed.
