Whether you’re brand new to knives or you’ve been carrying for years, this episode kicks off our multi‑part Beginner’s Guide to Knives series with a deep dive into blade shapes- what they are, why they matter, and how to choose the right one for real‑world use.

Grant, Abe, and Inky break down the fundamentals in a way only EDC‑TV can: real talk, real experience, and a little bit of chaos. We cover clip points, drop points, sheepsfoot blades, utility profiles, and why geometry, steel, and heat treat all matter more than most people think.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes one knife “better” than another, this is where your journey starts.

Featuring:
• Grant Lamontagne (Multitool.org)
• Abe Elias (Blade Magazine Field Editor, Diving Sparrow Knifeworks)
• Inky Chris (Resident Agent of Chaos)

In this episode:
• What makes a blade “good”?
• Clip point vs drop point vs sheepsfoot
