We had to chat with Forged in Fire and Master of Arms competitor, Dustin Rhodes, when we bumped into him at BLADE SHOW 2019! 

Dustin was nice enough to provide us with a knife and tomahawk that we will be testing for a video soon. He does a lot to help promote other smiths who were on Forged in Fire as well.
