August 16, 2020 Ed Calderon (Ed’s Manifesto) and the Elvia Knife – The Knife Junkie Podcast Episode 138
Ed Calderon (Ed's Manifesto) and the Elvia Knife - The Knife Junkie Podcast #138
Ed Calderon of Ed's Mainfesto joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on episode #138 of The Knife Junkie podcast. Calderon spent over a decade working in counter narcotics, organized crime investigation and public safety in the northern-border region of Mexico, as well as an executive protective agent. His study in to the indigenous Méxican criminal culture, from occult practices to endemic modus operandi have lead him to be recognized as one of the world's preeminent researchers and trainers in the field of personal security that have come out of Mexico.

He shares his expertise with members of federal law enforcement agencies including the FBI and BORTAC, Navy SEALS, Indonesian Kopaska, Mexican and United States intelligence service agents, and members of special forces groups from all over the world. Currently he travels North America doing security consulting and conducting seminars and private training courses in anti-abduction, escapology, unarmed combat, region specific executive protection work and unconventional edged weapons work.

And knife junkies know him from his Elvia knife design -- a tool that Calderon carried as his ultimate back-up weapon. The Elvia was a knife that belonged to his mother who used it both as a utility tool and as a weapon, using it to save the lives of her family when they were once attacked by a vicious street criminal. The Elvia is produced by several companies including Emerson Knives and Kopis Designs.

You can find Ed Calderon online at www.edsmanifesto.com, as well as on Facebook and on Instagram.

Wow! Honored to talk to Ed Calderon of Ed's Manifesto and the Elvia knife. Awesome time getting to know him, learning his history, and his love of knives and self defense, and I hope you enjoy. #theknifejunkie #podcastClick To Tweet

Hinderer, Benchmade, Larrin Thomas, Bob Kramer, Scottie Pippen and Bowie Suggestions are Needed -- The Knife Junkie Podcast Episode 133
On the mid-week supplemental episode of The Knife Junkie podcast (Episode #133), The Knife Junkie needs some help -- well, specifically knife help, but we guess overall help is always needed (LOL). Anyway, The Knife Junkie needs suggestions for a new Bowie knife he'd like to get, as well as about what knives would make good throwing knives now that's he's built his ax/knife throwing target.

In Knife Like News, Bob covers Hinderer's XM Slipjoint, Benchmade's "Unlimited Limited" Infidel, a new book from Larrin Thomas and a fundraiser of a Black Lives Matter chef's knife that's a partnership between NBA legend Scottie Pippen and Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer.

In addition, Bob announced two new patrons to The Knife Junkie Patreon community, as well as announced a couple of guests for the next Knife Town Hall: Knife Show and Sell edition on Saturday, Aug. 8, noon (Eastern time). More details to follow, but go ahead and get it on your calendar!

Links to stories, podcast episodes mentioned and the knives covered in the podcast can be found below.
