Jack Billings of Shed Knives joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 577 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/577).

Originally starting in 2018 as just a hobby, Shed Knives was started by three friends making knives on Saturday mornings. Their first knife was a sword: a katana. As time went on in 2018, the friends started trading knives for bigger and better machines to build the "Shed Knives Shop." For $5, they made their first forge.

The three friends started making and selling their first knives which were named the 2019 Sheepsfoot, US Tanto, Drop Point, and Wharncliffe. The friends started selling at scouting events, to friends, family, and whoever else wanted one.

In 2019, Jack was the only original member left, but he found new team members and was able to continue producing knives and fulfilling orders. After getting their feet wet with the business, 2020 was the first year with a clearly defined product release. That year they also got 10 stores to start selling Shed Knives.
