Crossing the threshold into our next 50 episodes, we had a well-known collector and all-around great guy - Myron Tupa on the show. Myron is known for his elaborate and themed displays at knife shows and he joins Mike and Neal to talk a little about how he got started, his love for Navajas and switchblades, and the ins and outs of displays. And if that wasn't enough, we even delved into the world of automata!
