Knives by Nuge combines Tom's years of game processing, wilderness survival skills and martial arts to create high-quality tools for camp and kitchen. According to Tom, each model's blade geometry, handle sculpting and over all fit-and-finish have been handcrafted and refined to perform as well as they look, and with 100% American-made materials, Nuge Knives are built to last decades and passed down to future generations. Find Knives by Nuge online at www.knivesbynuge.com and on Instagram at https://instagram.com/knives_by_nuge.Be sure to support The Knife Junkie and get in on the perks of being a Patron -- including early access to the podcast and exclusive bonus content, www.theknifejunkie.com/patreon.

Thanksgiving Road Trip Knives - The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 372)

Zac Wingard of Wingard Wearables joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 371 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/371).Wingard Wearables creates EDC items out of weapons not thought of for everyday carry, like tomahawks, spears, war clubs and an implement called the "Quill." One thing that many current-day tomahawk makers get wrong (and that Wingard focuses on getting right) is weight. Unlike axes and hatchets, tomahawks are meant to be very light and nimble in the hand and easy to throw.Like the name implies, Wingard Wearable tomahawks, pikes and quills are intended to be worn close to the body and come with kydex sheaths for the sharp and pointy parts. Zac EDCs his Backripper Tomahawk, in-the-waistband, literally all the time. These tomahawks and other implements are not just weapons but also intended for utility use. The new Thumper is a wearable bludgeon designed around the Iroquois war club, made by Zac entirely in house.Each Wingard Wearable is made in America by skilled blacksmiths and bladesmiths and numerous small businesses across three states.Find Wingard Wearables online at https://www.wingardwearables.com and on Instagram (wingard_wearables) at https://www.instagram.com/wingard_wearables.Be sure to support The Knife Junkie and get in on the perks of being a Patron -- including early access to the podcast and exclusive bonus content. https://www.theknifejunkie.com/patreonLet us know what you thought about this episode.

Knives with the Best Bang for the Buck Under $60 - The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 369)

David Kam of Orion Knives joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 368 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (theknifejunkie.com/368).David started collecting EDC gear including knives in 2017, and began his BladeBanter YouTube knife review channel in 2018, after being an active contributor to other review channels. Once David's knife preferences were crystalized, he created Orion Knives and a premium-feel folder called the Solaris, for less than $100.Fascinated with mechanisms and workmanship, David set out to make knives with a high-level of engineering and design finesse. His Solaris model was an early "enthusiast-designed," China-OEM-produced folder, designed around its button lock/flipper action.Orion recently released the Scorpio, a sweet little clip point EDC with a unique look and build around the same button lock action as the Solaris. In an exciting departure from the button lock flipper setup, David has designed and prototyped a full size frame lock flipper with fuller, opening hole and hawkbill/wharncliffe blade called Cetus.The company's logo features the three stars that make up the belt of Orion, the favorite constellation of his three boys. The company's motto is, "Invest in Your Lifestyle."
