I am very excited to have Mert on today, as he is one of the only custom knifemakers that comes from a professional background in cooking. He's one of the founding members of the Wootz Society, and is also making his own crucible steel. He is a wealth of insight and information, and I look forward to getting to know him better during this conversation.
