This week, Jonas of Isasmedjan joins us for a conversation on Kydex sheath development, shop moves, Solingen show prep, stainless etching, and the balance between custom work and small-scale production, before the episode closes with another round of hot takes on forged geometry, knife makers, and questionable handle materials.
