Full Blast

Benjamin Kamon of Kamon Knives is an Austrian Blademith whose work has graced the cover of Blade Magazine and is held in high regard in the knife making community. When you look at his work the design decisions he makes are beautiful, elegant and well thought out. The contrast between forged blade and mechanically fastened handle are stunning and must come from his experiences between being a mechanic working on huge trucks and his time as blacksmith fabricating railings and ornamental iron. We had a great talk about how he developed his signature style, forging and paying respect to the legend Lin Rhea. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to having him on again. Thanks again, -GF

Meet Tansu is back and we had a great conversation. Owner and Bladesmith of Tansu Knives and Hunter Valley Blades, Mert has a unique perspective in the knife making game. Born in Turkey, he moved to the US as a chef, met his wife in the hospitality business and decided to take a chance on living in Australia for a bit. Life was good and the slower pace allowed for more free time. So after years of collecting and using knives Meat had the opportunity to take a class and his rise as a world class knifemaker took off. 

The conversation on creativity and the similarities between cooking and knife making was an eye opener for me and is great philosophy for any maker. We talked about The international Wootz Society and all the  great events coming up in Australia. And the podcast he’s on called Knife Making Down Under and the importance of it for Australians during lock down. A lot of fun and I look forward to seeing Mert and the guys next year at Blade. All the best, Geoff

Back by popular demand, one of the greatest character to ever grace the Emerald Isles Fingal Ferguson is back in the saddle again!!! We had a great time talking about the award winning short documentary

He and some of his fellow Irish Knifemakers were in called “The Small Steps”. It was interesting diving deeper into the relationship he and these talented craftsmen have and their connection to Bladesmith legend Bob Loveless. We talked BBQ and cooking for the masses, ethical dilemmas and the future of Gubbeen! Great time as always. Thanks again FF you’re the man!!xoxo- GF

This Crossover is actually kind of a part 2. Last week I was on the Work For it Podcast with Brian House and Bryan Kohn and we had a fun time there. The episode is titled “Blast off with Geoff Feder” and feel free to listen to it before this one. But you’ll get what’s going on  if you don’t. I listen to the Work for it Podcast every thursday and enjoy it so you should too. This episode was interesting because we touched on an issue that’s going on in the maker community and I was completely un aware of it. So I had an unbiased take based on what I was presented with. We talked small biz stuff, raising kids, generational responsibility and these guys were fun to have on. Open invite. Next time we’ll get Ben on too.

Leah Aripotch returns to the show and we dive deep into metal sculpture. Leah is an incredible artist known for painstaking detail and beautiful forged and fabricated nightmarish botanical pieces. Leah has grabbed the attention of the the knife making world including her recent sculptural collaboration with Bladesmith Joshua Prince and most recently, taking home “The Best Collaboration” Award at this year Blade Show with Bladesmith Seth Lopez. Then we talked about the complete story behind the Sculpture I just installed after 4 years in the making. I wanted to set the record straight after some misconceptions.

This was fun and Leah Rules. Thanks again- GF

We’re back with a blockbuster episode! I’m joined this week with Will Stelter JS, James Fleming JS, Matt Stagmer JS, and the Mysterious Nick Rossi MS! We all got together to recap the most recent Blade Show where they were all testing  for for the American Bladesmith Society’s Journeyman Smith and in Nick’s case, Mastersmith. They all told their stories on why the decided to test, the stresses in preparing for testing and their takeaways from the experience. It’s an extremely unique insight into the 

ABS testing experiences and it was a fun listen. 

 

P.S. please forgive the audio. cramming Will and Nick on one set of earbuds wasn’t ideal but they were champions and I appreciate everyone’s flexibility. 

I suggest you become a member of the ABS even if you don’t want to test. It’s a great organization that sets standards in the knife making industry.

This episode of the Downward Spiral was recorded in 2012 When Niko Tavernise and I were regularly going to either his porch or my shop with a bottle of booze and recording an episode. This particular episode Niko was working on the film Noah with Russell Crow(see I knew who it was) Back from filming in Iceland, we just wanted to shoot the breeze, tell funny stories and fool around. This ep is interesting because it recounts a story from the last time I installed Public Art. I had a bad experience doing it and it for shadows the work I’m installing now . Please forgive any ignorance and general horseshit, I’ve grown. Enjoy the show.

This episode of the Downward Spiral was recorded in 2012 When Niko Tavernise and I were regularly going to either his porch or my shop with a bottle of booze and recording an episode. This particular episode we were joined by my great friend Tony Aiazzi who is now my business partner at Feder Knives. We had just had dinner and got the microphone. It was a lot of fun talking restaurant biz and our stories from back in the day. This was before I ever made a knife and I think I had just left CMA and was working in a fabrication shop close by. We also hit a bottle of Jameson’s pretty good and by the end you can hear it. Haha Niko and Tony are some of my closest friends and it was fun getting together back then. So I’m scouring the vault for eps to put out and every so often I’ll see what happens. Please forgive any ignorance and general horseshit, I’ve grown. Enjoy the show.

Matt Stagmer is back and on the road to test for the Journeyman Smith designation from the American Bladesmith Society (ABS). It’s no easy feat; even though Matt has made thousands of swords and knives the 5 he’s working on to submit have to be the best he ever made. We had a great conversation talking about how the process is going and how its influencing how he makes knives now. Will he will be under more scrutiny because of his wildly popular Youtube Channel: That Works or the years being on Television making shows about weapon making? Matt was very humble, sincere and forthcoming about his experience and fear during the Performance Testing process of the JS Testing. Matt’s the man and I’m sending the best vibes to him for his Road to JS. 

P.S. after our conversation, I paid my dues to the ABS and I’m in good standing…..check back with me in 3 years…all the best, GF

2 years ago I didn’t think i’d have put out 104 episodes every week without a break. Consistent shows that get better and better. Amazing guests, and interesting conversations with makers from all over the place. This week I thought I’d celebrate with Mareko Maumasi and Craig Lockwood, the co-hosts of Knife Talk Podcast: The Number 1 Knife related Podcast on this germ infested planet(I started saying that years ago and It’s still funny) Craig And Mareko are outstanding and we’ve been doing episodes for the last 4 + years. Recently we’ve been doing an after show on Knife Talk where we just hang out; this episode of Full Blast is us reading funny stories we found on the internet and talk about them: It’s always fun making them laugh. 

Thanks again to all the support I’ve gotten over the last 2 years. it’s been overwhelming. Many thanks to the sponsors and huge thanks to Craig for being the behind the scenes producer; putting in any edits and posting these every week. You’re the man. See you next week. If you want to do me a favor, tell your friends, leave a review and post on your stories. Thanks - GF
