New York Knife Maker Nick Chuprin -- The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 102)

Nick Chuprin, New York knife maker, is the featured guest on episode #102 of The Knife Junkie Podcast. Nick began collecting knives at 13 and started his own knife business at the ripe young age of 17!

He funded his knife shop with the lotto and had to rebuild his initial set-up following Hurricane Sandy. Later he purchased a Haas CNC milling center, after spending about 9 months learning the code and how to program it -- and now utilizes modern technologies to create a wider range of products.

He also talked about some of his collaborations as well as his own podcast called “Bladeology,” hosted by Chuprin (The Maker), Jeremiah Burbank (The Dealer) and Elijah Isham (The Designer) -- and announced a new partnership called Syndicate Blades.

Find him online at NCC Knives as well as on Instagram.
