In Episode 584 of The Knife Junkie Podcast, Bob DeMarco explores the concept of "fixed blade emotional support knives" -- and how his preference has evolved from fidgety folders to substantial fixed blades that provide security and confidence.

Bob showcases his impressive collection of fixed blade emotional support knives, including the APOC Smatchet, Cold Steel Big Bear Classic, Marcaida/Fox Kortada, and many more purpose-driven designs.

The episode also features his pocket check including a Cold Steel 4Max Scout with custom wooden scales, Knife Life News with updates on new Sebenza 31s and knife rights legislation, and his newest collection addition: the Cold Steel Desperado.

A must-listen for fixed blade enthusiasts and anyone interested in the deeper connection between knife owners and their tools.
