In this week’s episode, we learn the story behind Steel for Good, a global knifemaking collaboration created to help makers stay visible and connected. Philip explains how the teams came together, and why trust matters when your name is going on a blade you did not finish alone.
Philip also previews a few standout builds already in progress. Steel for Good is supported by Damasteel, Apex Ultra, and Peter from Modern Cooking. The first auctions are planned for spring of 2026, with all proceeds going to Children International.
