High Carbon

With Keith being gone, the boys have to step up their game. Pauli and Albert are joined by two of the best-known knifemakers on the planet: Ben Kamon and Geoff Feder. The boys talk podcasts, business strategies, and they get into a (quite civilised) discussion on compound grinds.

This week Chris from Forge Works joins the show to talk honestly about stepping back from full time knifemaking into a normal day job, and why it was the right call. After years of grinding solo, chasing social media growth, and dealing with unexpected hits like a copyright claim over a seven second sound clip, Chris hit a breaking point. Taking on outside work gave him steady income, covered health insurance, and freed up mental space he didn't know he was missing, all while still running his workshop on the side. It's a candid conversation about burnout, financial pressure, and why slowing down sometimes saves the business you're trying to protect.

Marco Gadavics is a part time bladesmith from Upper Austria who recently won the Kukri with a Twist challenge at Knife Show Solingen and Best Knife of Show at Knife Show Austria in 2025. Marco talks about building up his knifemaking skills while working full time as a prison officer, his journey from blacksmithing school to winning awards, selling out at Blade Show West in Utah, and his new investment in a rare 75kg Kuhn Reiter power hammer. The conversation goes deep on forging equipment, what it actually takes to move serious steel, and what the future might look like if his work situation changes.

Pauli breaks down his new passivation process for sandblasted stainless steel blades, covering why blasting creates rust problems and how a citric acid bath fixes it. He also shares a cheap DIY version any maker can try at home. Albert talks through the painful story of a hook hollow ground chef knife with solid copper cladding that delaminated right before the finish line. The crew also gets into custom screws, carbide end mills, and the discovery that Austria is sitting on one of Europe's largest tungsten deposits which leads to some questionable field trip planning.

Next week: award-winning Austrian bladesmith Marco Gadavics joins the show.

No guests this week just Keith, Albert, and Pauli on the bench. Albert wraps up the DNA knives and dives into a tall Chinese cleaver with a double hook grind, sharing his "cheater platen" trick for near hand sanded finishes. Keith actually built a folder (raindrop Damascus liner lock) and breaks down detent ball placement, lock face angles, and why friction folders are mostly pointless. Pauli announces the Varnas 2.0 launch and teases his next release: a two finger karambit style fixed blade built to ride in a jeans coin pocket.

With Albert away, Benjamin Kamon steps in for another episode. We cover the final prep for the Solingen Knife Show, updates on Pauli’s second generation Varnas, and Ben’s plans for the Damasteel DCI. We also get into CNC fixture making, G10 handle scales, Knife Show Austria, The Edge of Hope project, knife numbering, and the usual mix of workshop talk, bad jokes, and technical problems.
