Listen Later

In Episode 583 of The Knife Junkie Podcast, Bob DeMarco talks with Shawn Old of Gross Motor Gear, who makes custom knives designed specifically for self-protection.


Shawn shares his journey from martial arts instructor to knife maker, and how his artistic background influences his designs. Learn about his unique Japanese-inspired handle wraps, his philosophy on blade-to-handle proportions, and why his knives are optimized for real-world self-defense scenarios rather than knife fighting.


Gross Motor Gear makes purpose-driven tools (knives) and their products are made in the USA.


Gross Motor Gear offers a variety of tools/knives, including the Hawk, Hrafn, Hummingbird, Maahes, Mamushi, Mamushi Mini, Mosquito, Te-Yari, Tiamat, and Wraith.


Check out Shawn's work at GrossMotorGear.com, on Facebook, and on Instagram @grossmotorgear.
