My Tanto Bladed Folders - The Knife Junkie Podcast Episode 217

On the mid-week supplemental episode of The Knife Junkie podcast (episode 217), Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco looks at his Tanto bladed folders, albeit not as big a collection as he had hoped (and wishes) for!

In his pocket check, Bob has a MIcrotech LCC, Tangram Santa Fe and a small custom fixed blade oof unknown origin. And in the state of the collection, it's the Wingard Wearables Empress Tomahawk and the WE Blacao (on loan from ThisOldSword).

And in Knife Life News, a SAK-like auto from Chuck Gedraitis, Spyderco's Reveal 8, and CJRB will debut a super-slicer Scoria at Blade 2021.

Michael Miller of the Tactile Knife Company (and Their First Knife the Rockwall) - The Knife Junkie Podcast Episode 216

The Tactile Knife Company's Michael Miller joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" on episode 216 of The Knife Junkie Podcast. Tactile Knife Company's first knife, the Rockwall, is an ideal EDC with a 3" XHP blade, smooth ceramic bearing flipper action, intricately milled/turned titanium frame and a classically clean design. Tactile Knife Company manufactures nearly all parts in-house in Garland, Texas, including screws and pivots, for their debut knife the Rockwall.

Tactile Knife Company grew out of Tactile Turn Pen Company, which makes some of the most precisely turned pens in the industry out of materials familiar to the knife industry. Tactile Turn Pen was born out of founder Will Hodges' frustration at the disconnection between the products we buy and how and where they are manufactured

You can find Tactile Knife Company online at tactileknife.co and on Instagram.

My guest this week, on episode 216 of #theknifejunkie #podcast is Michael Miller of the Tactile Knife Company, and we talk about the company and their first knife, the awesome Rockwall. Click To Tweet
