On the mid-week supplemental episode of The Knife Junkie podcast (episode 241), Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco takes a look at Pikal style knives (tip down, edge in).

Bob starts the show with his "pocket checks" -- the Spyderco Military and the Finch 1929 -- while in his "state of the collection," it's a knife from JB Knives (the Ditch Pick Double-Edge), the TRM Atom DLC / Gcarta, and a Cold Steel Spike Tomahawk.

In Knife Life News, Bob covers StatGear releasing the Ausus Slim and a gorgeous folding kitchen knife from custom kitchen knife maker Quintin Middleton.

And don't forget... Bob & Jim’s Birthday Bash will be live on YouTube, Twitch and The Knife Junkie's Facebook page on Saturday, Aug. 21, starting at 1 p.m. Several special guests and lots of giveaway items, including several knives, but you have to be present to win!
