High Carbon

Back in the High Carbon chaos: we kick off by roasting a product listing with handle colors that change from photo to photo (so, which knife are you actually buying and does it really matter?). Then it’s shop talk, knife bags, and prep for the upcoming Solingen knife show, including a fresh batch of stabilized wood for The Edge of Hope project. We nerd out over an optical center punch for ultra precise drilling, melt glass in a microwave kiln (yes, really), and Paul unveils his new “mega fixture” for CNC handle scales. Plus, class drama, student mistakes, and a surprise visit from VSM with belt testing, pressure, and speed tips, and a new line of belts specifically for non ferrous metals ( and wood ) that wont clog up on you.

Knife Solingen is back! We’re joined by Sixt Wetzler (Director of the Deutsches Klingenmuseum) and event manager Andrew Gläser to unpack what happened with the 2025 cancellation, what’s new for 2026 at the Eissporthalle, and how makers, brands, and suppliers get accepted. We also dig into the Knife Awards (jury prize and audience prize), the expanded program with talks, demos, sharpening zone, martial arts workshops, museum access, and shuttle logistics, plus a little friendly pressure on Pauli to finally show up.

Date & location: May 9–10, 2026, Solingen (Eissporthalle Solingen), Germany.

With Pauli out sick, we’re joined by Ryan Coakley for a shop talk heavy episode. We trade wild kitchen stories and how chef life translates into knifemaking, then nerd out on grind performance with Albert’s J hook experiments, food release, and sharpening tradeoffs. We also get into batch work, speed, and the handmade vs production spectrum, and then hit podcasting standards, guest booking, and time zones.

Gabe Fletcher of Anchorage forge returns with a massive shop upgrade, a rare Beaudry 400 power hammer with a 400 lb (181 kg) ram. We talk about how he found it, the full rebuild and reconfiguration by Kevin Willey, and what it takes to install and tune a five ton mechanical beast. Plus, die setups, why Beaudrys have a “Cadillac” reputation, and a quick dive into protective finishes for etched Damascus, including Gator Skin.

Jeroen from Knippenberg Knives returns for his third appearance to talk about the Netherlands knife makers symposium he organizes, why community focused events matter, and what makers can learn there. We also dig into his “what, how, and why” social media approach, plus the realities of going full time as a knife maker.

Dom from DB Blades joins us to talk knife shows, shop workflow, and content. We learn about his new role as treasurer of Australia’s Knife Art Association, plus his simple system for consistent Instagram reels and why he walked away from YouTube with 50k subscribers. He also walks us through his workflow, from water jet blanks and milling to heat treat, surface grinding, CNC handles, and finishing by hand.

With Albert away, Ben Kamon joins us as Pauli opens up about a trip that may have altered his brain for life, and might finally explain some of his controversial hot takes. He went straight into the heart of Chernobyl, the worst disaster in the history of nuclear power generation.

A late night group chat turns into a full blown debate after Pauly drops a hot take on one of our Patreon exclusive Low Carbon episodes: “People who teach classes aren’t good knife makers.” Albert is not having it, and Pauli sticks by his statement.

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.
