He has loaned many knives to the Knife Junkie Channel for review and has a healthy love of custom fixed blades.In 2022, Justin joined forces with knife maker Chris Harrison of Old Squirrel Knives to produce the first batch of the fixed-blade pikal masterpiece Scythe. With Justin's years of designing and reviewing gear and Chris's CAD and knife-making experience, they decided to solidify the partnership and work on new designs together as DC Blades.In partnership with Shieldon Knives, a folding version of the Scythe was released to astounding success -- in both high-value and premium materials. The folding Scythe sold out numerous times and was ranked #1 New Release on Amazon.DC Blades' new design is called the Ceto, a fullered, compound-ground clip point titanium frame lock with OEM Miguron at the manufacturing helm.Find DC Blades online at https://www.dcblades.net (https://www.dcblades.net) and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/d_c_blades (https://www.instagram.com/d_c_blades).
