Mike Donnelly of LUC Knives joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 407 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/407 (https://theknifejunkie.com/407)). Mike calls himself a washed up YouTuber, but in this host's opinion, he has a great channel with insightful videos on some great hand hard-to-come-by knives. He has made the transition to knife maker, and after a short time, is delivering on very refined and handsome fixed blade knife designs.Mike started out as a knife reviewer on YouTube, but quickly found a passion for knife-making. He started by making his own knives and continued to refine his skills until he realized that making knives was something he truly enjoyed.Eventually he put his YouTube channel on hold to focus on his craft, and has since been purchasing more equipment to continue improving his work. Today, while still serving his country on active duty in the U.S. Air Force, Donnelly is a skilled part-time knife-maker growing his LUC Knives brand.Find LUC Knives on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/luc.knives (https://www.instagram.com/luc.knives) and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@LUC.Knives (mailto:https://www.youtube.com/@LUC.Knives).Be sure to support The Knife Junkie and get in on the perks of being a Patron -- including early access to the podcast and exclusive bonus content.
