In this very chill and informative interview, we met with Theo Nazz at his shop in Brooklyn, NY and discussed his two appearances on Forged in Fire, his teaching techniques, video games, and much more! We learned so much in the afternoon we spent with Theo, and we can't wait to hang with him again! Also, there's a very special surprise moment at the end of the video :)
