Bladesmith Jared Thatcher (@Boothillblades on Instagram) has led a life of leadership and service. from childhood acting & Military service to running a farm (@threedaughtersfarm on Instagram) with his wife Kylee (@boothillkitchen on Instagram) and now Political power?!

| 23 Sep 2022 | David Madero | 01:42:14 | |
As far as Metal Artists go, David Madero has reached some incredible heights. Making giant public Art and incredibly expressive work David has found his voice in Steel. His father was a metal sculptor and brought David’s older brother into the shop to help with the fabrication of art. A 4 year old David was compelled to follow and help. These formative years gave him the technique and training to figure out how to express himself. We had a great talk about the love of Gas Welding and how “the weld” is the intrinsic part of David’s work. We talked about what it was like being a judge on Netflix’s series “Metalshop Masters” and what’s son the horizon for this talented sculptor. I definitely want to have David back, what great time. Thanks again for your flexibility. We’ll do it again. All the best- GF Follow David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/madero_co/

| 18 Mar 2022 | Master Bladesmith Lin Rhea | 01:33:34 | |
Lin Rhea is a Master Bladesmith from Prattsville, Arkansas and one of the most innovative knife makers in the game today. After years as a Bladesmith and earning the ABS ‘Master’ designation he became very involved with the Historic Arkansas Museum as the Resident Blacksmith. The nature of the position gave him access to research about classic blacksmithing techniques, which lead him to the doorstep of Peter Ross, one of America’s leading blacksmiths. Learning colonial blacksmithing techniques from Peter was an inspiring turning point in Lin’s work; and on the long 17 hour drive home he sparked the idea for his now classic “X-Rhea” knife. This forged one-piece knife, with no need for handle scales, is a unique and innovative concept that answers complicated questions with incredibly simple decisions. We talked about in great detail and came to some interesting conclusions. Lin is a hero of mine for many reasons and I’m honored to have spoken with him. I look forward to having him back! Definitely check out his website, read his “Smoke signals”, which are his writings and follow his new instagram page as his original was hacked. Thanks again Lin, it was my privilege. - GF Follow Lin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lin_rhea_knifemaker/ He’s also active on Facebook.

| 23 Jul 2021 | The Downward Spiral’s Spiritual Awakening | 01:49:56 | |
Niko Tavernise, Hollywood set photographer and long time friend, joins me for the fourth installment of The Downward Spiral Podcast. This was a podcast we started over 10 years ago. Now he comes back on Full Blast every often to fool around. This episode Niko tells his time traveling with bands and recounts a crazy story meeting the Dalai Lama with some other famous musicians. The image we talked about is on The Full Blast Podcast Instagram page. As always we discussed the depravity of humanity, cannabalism, genitalia, and closed the investigation on the mystery of the Loch Ness monster and most likely all sea monsters.

Ben Kamon is an incredible Bladesmith and is back for another episode. When it comes to well thought out designs and execution Ben is in rarified air.

| 12 Feb 2021 | Will Stelter: Renaissance man | 01:49:27 | |
Will Stelter is a talented and driven Bladesmith I’ve known for a few years. We come from different backgrounds and find common ground to create a great friendship. Will is currently building his shop in Montana with his new dog Marty. We had a fun time talking about how I blew him off the first time I met him…(whoops my bad…) Teddy Roosevelt, the trials and tribulations of YouTube fame and how he really felt after dropping the power hammer he spent years rebuilding! This was a fun ramble and Will turned the tables on me at the end. Good man.

| 12 Jan 2023 | Noah Vachon Rides Again! | 01:56:52 | |
Noah Vachon is one of the most articulate people in the knifemaking game. His beginnings in music and Guitar building totally influenced his style, and approach that permeate his work at Vachon Knives (even if he doesn’t think so). We caught up on the new year and what’s been going on. Realized we were 20 blocks away from each other as we rung in Y2K and had a great time talking about the pressure of performance and what it takes to be an artist. Noah is also doing “Knife Coaching” sessions which is a great way to get help if you want one on one knife making tips. Definitely consider this great opportunity. Noah is awesome and is always fun to talk to.

| 25 Feb 2022 | Derek from Malden | 01:47:25 | |
My friend Derek from Malden is one of the kindest people I’ve met. He’s a maker in Massachusetts who came into his own later in life after recuperating from an injury, when his son suggested he watch DIY videos on Youtube. The story of how he met Jimmy Diresta, struck up a friendship and activated something in him he wasn’t sure he had has now lead him to being on a new Netflix Show called “Making Fun” coming out March 4th. The sincerity, candor and honesty from Derek is plain to see as he tells the story of hardship, redemption and excitement for the future. From high highs, to low lows, this conversation is revealing and Derek someone to see as an inspiration for taking control of of his life.

| 10 Jun 2021 | Mark Peacock the Deer River Craftsman | 01:56:02 | |
Mark Peacock is a custom furniture and fine woodworker in North Wales. He builds beautiful furniture and creates an experience for his customers. Mark has a great Youtube channel that shows the building of the work and his direction on the channel is different than most content creators: he’s not telling you how to do it. I love the fact that you watch what he’s doing and that’s it. That means his audience isn’t the DIY crowd; it’s his customers who ask him to do videos about their commissions a lot of the time. We covered him growing up and the influence of his father and uncles, being sent to live in Canada as a youth and his love of the Toronto Blue Jays. Mark is a great guy and we had a lot of fun.

| 05 Mar 2021 | Onur Caglar presses forward! | 01:56:54 | |
Onur Caglar AKA “The Scarborough Ripper”, “Chopper”, “Little Evil” and of course @diesineveryfilm was a soldier, is a professional MMA fighter and has transitioned into a successful knife maker, Youtuber and family man. He is one of the most fun people to watch on social media especially his stories on Instagram. The physical consequences of not trusting techniques learned to prepare him for war and fighting in the cage were life threatening. The unconscious ability to trust technique and soak it up has made him an extremely talented knife maker with no formal training; one of the many aspects that made Onur as successful as he is.. We covered his time serving in Afganistan, training with MMA Great Danny Michell at Asylum Vale Tudo and what its like being a professional Mixed Martial Artist. As a fighter he always faced taller opponents and moved forward dictating the pace of the fights. I really enjoyed watching all his fights and if you put “Onur Caglar MMA” in your search engine all the fights recorded will pop up. Here are the fights we talked about in this episode. The Nathan Roberts fight. (Standing Guillotine) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqCHcDcpN_w Nathan Roberts 2 (Warpigs walkout music) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ouj0qfKIyc Will Cairns fight (Fun fact: The worst joke ever said by a commentator) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqLerMfcaAU Callum Gaghan fight (incredible win and show of respect) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXtk3d5zn5g The Kane Mousah fight (Onur took on less than 24 hours notice) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4Uvq3x600o Danny Mitchel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dannymitchellmma/ Danny’s effective bathroom self defense lesson: https://www.instagram.com/p/B3rFujOp9Jw/ Go follow Onur on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diesineveryfilm/ Subscribe to his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Diesineveryfilm Go get yourself some all natural food safe Axe Wax Go to https://axewax.us/ And get 10% off with promocode: FULLBLAST10 Go to https://isotunes.com/ To get the next generation of hearing protection Get $10 off with promocode FULLBLAST10 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy | |||

| 05 May 2023 | Dr. Larrin Thomas- The Story of Knife Steel | 01:48:49 | |
Dr. Larrin Thomas is one of the leading experts in metallurgy specifically knife steel. His book “Knife Engineering: Steel, Heat Treating and Geometry” is an incredible resource for knifemakers. It’s a must have for anyone with the slightest interest in the craft; Data sheets, Steel characteristics and a detailed heat treating recipe section with variables that give the user a wide range of successful heat treating results. We talked about his new upcoming book: “The Story of Knife Steel- Innovators Behind Modern Damascus and Super Steels”. This is an awesome history of knife companies and stories about knifemakers leading the way towards the present. We had a fun time talking about sections in the book about Bob Loveless and Bill Moran and their contrasting philosophies. Larrin is a great guest and a wealth of information in the community. We also talked about his father Devin Thomas having the great honor of being inducted into the Cutlery Hall of Fame and the success of Magnacut; the Steel Larrin Engineered. He’ll be back and when the book is out you can be sure I’ll be letting you know how to get it.

| 07 Oct 2022 | Andrew Alexander part 2 | 01:52:28 | |
Andrew Alexander is back and I’m grateful for it. Last week I had to end the episode in a panic because the service we used said after an hour: “You have 5 minutes of recording time left before the recording stops”. Needless to say I was disappointed. And panicked. So I ended it abruptly with my guest Andrew Alexander just as we were getting warmed up. AA is a gem. I asked if he wanted to suffer though another episode with me and he was happy to give it another shot. And it was worth it. Usually sequels never live up to the hype; not this time. We picked up exactly where we left off, talking about anvils and blacksmithing. We discussed how marketing and advertising created the brand Little Giant and some of its history and what point in history did blacksmithing go mainstream. Then Andrew turned the tables on me and started interviewing me. It was a great conversation and i’m so glad we got another shot at it. Thanks again Andrew for your flexibility and good humor. I appreciate it. - GF Follow Andrew on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blacksmithtools/

| 01 Sep 2023 | Ben Kamon Rides Again! | 01:45:56 | |
Ben Kamon is one of the most innovative custom knifemakers in the world. I’ve had him on the show before and we’ve covered a lot of ground. I’m convinced his experience as a blacksmith and fabricator has informed his decisions especially when it comes to problem solving. Knife makers with broad experience in metalworking and fabrication tend to not be confined by construction orthodoxy. Great conversation talking business, the pitfalls of installation and a love/hate letter to the cursed Right Angle Grinder. Ben’s always fun to talk with and really is an inspiration. He’ll be back soon.

| 02 Jul 2021 | Ashley Childs of Elk & Hammer | 01:42:10 | |
My friend Ashley Childs joins me on a particularly hot day in The United States. We talked about the building of her new project Elk & Hammer, which will be a gallery filled with artists, craftsmen and quality made things. Ashley’s time as a jeweler has shaped this vision to prioritize the artists she will represents and tell their story so the buyer gets an experience. We talked about her time with Yvon Chouinard of Patagonia, being put in dicey situations with shady jewelry companies and her time teaching hammer making in Argentina without speaking the language. AC is a wonder spirit in the maker community and brings joy to everyone she meets. It’s always fun catching up with her and I look forward to anything she does.

My buddy John Erianne, AKA @sunsetforgenj on instagram, came in for a catch up which is always fun. We talked a lot about hammer making and what’s the right hammer for you. We also decided which styles hammer are overrated, underrated and perfectly rated. It is crazy to me the general public has very little understanding of how people who forge see hammers as tools of creativity as opposed to destruction and we talked about that a lot. I’ve learned a lot about hammer making from John and always appreciate his time and friendship.

| 21 Jun 2024 | Jordan LaMothe Continues His Journey | 01:31:22 | |
Master Bladesmith Jordan LaMothe is back! Fresh off Blade show we had a great catch up on what’s going on in the knife world. We talked about the past and speculated about the Future. We even bridged the gap between art & craft, focusing on his latest piece: “Sojourn”, which represents the duality of his time spent as a student in India as it relates to his home on a farm in Upstate New York.

| 21 Jul 2023 | Jared Thatcher plays the long game. | 01:52:12 | |
Jared Thatcher is one of my favorite people. It’s been a while since he’s been back because his didn’t have internet. I believe in my heart that he ran for mayor of his town ,and won just to get internet. It’s very possible. Jared is the the Bladesmith of Boothill Blades. He also runs his family farm Three Daughters Farm, with his wife Kylee who also makes beautiful carved wood utensils at Boothill Kitchen. If that wasn’t enough, in the last year Jared started training British Labradors and created TDF Kennels and it’s amazing to watch the development of these extraordinary dogs and to hear the intense origin of TDF. Jared is someone I look up to because of his preparation, discipline, and belief in the long game. It was a great conversation as always and Jared told awesome stories of being a small town mayor too. Now that he’s got Internet he’ll definitely be back.

| 05 Feb 2021 | Pat Quinn: The Modern Day Blacksmith | 01:48:30 | |
Pat Quinn is the Executive Director of The Center for Metal Arts in Johnstown PA. This in-depth interview is a journey of growth, where crucial lessons were learned at each stop and influenced Pat’s work as well his personal direction. I don’t remember an episode that was so complete in the story of a guest. The interesting thing it feels like just a rest stop in the development of one of the very few people who to me exemplifies the question I’ve had for years: “What is the role of the Modern Day Blacksmith”. We had a good time putting a timeline together of a shared history where our lives intersected coincidently. Pat will be back for sure. Give this a listen.
Definitely go to CMA and take classes. Definitely support this institution that is the gold standard in blacksmithing education. If you want to learn, this is the cutting edge in foundational philosophy and innovative learning.

| 12 Aug 2022 | The Royal Wedding of Emma and Onur | 01:44:55 | |
I remember as a young boy, the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. It was a bizarre time as an American seeing the pomp and circumstance of a Royal Wedding. When I heard Onur Caglar and his fiancé Emma Whitaker on the Fire and Steel Podcast I thought it would be fun to cover their impending wedding. We had a great time catching up with Emma and Onur, talked about the plans and what’s on the horizon for the future Caglars. Emma is the Artist and owner of Allegory Tattoo Scarborough and we talked about how she got her start and the trials and tribulations of being a Tattooist. We also talked about wedding traditions around the world and had some fun. All the best to Onur and Emma! Congratulations! - GF P.S. Our podcast service once again let me down with the tracks.

This was an episode I’ve been thinking about for a while. I spent time remembering my Uncle Jay St. John and told funny stories in his memory. He was a huge part of my upbringing, always joking and encouraging me to swing at pitches. Very funny memories and I may have gone too far. Haha. I had some dream revelations and talked about the great our pouring of kind words from the last episode with my daughter.

| 27 Mar 2025 | Kay Foye Makes The Invisible Visible | 01:27:00 | |
Kay Foye is an incredible Knifemaker whose direction focuses on the the voice and memories of the objects she uses to create her work. A lot of that direction comes from her experiences ranging from working in the New York fashion industry to being a ranch hand in Colorado. The evolution of her work like many artists is influenced by her surroundings as well as the people she talks to. Her process has led her to finding patrons who give her heirlooms and keepsakes for her to use in knife handles that appear to be a sculptural collage. Contrasting with the impermanence of carbon steel, or even a farriers rasp, these intricately built handles on give the feeling of preserved memories with the expectation of making new memories as the patina develops. Great time and we’ll definitely have Kay back. Many thanks!

| 08 Oct 2021 | Maker Camp Pregame with The Modern Forge | 01:36:23 | |
The Modern Forge is an award winning blacksmith team consisting of Cliff Dufton, John Erianne, Carrie Savage,Jesse Savage and Me . This episode was to pregame the upcoming Maker Camp event- at the last minute Cliff was unable to be on the podcast and the great Ben Snure took his place. The Catskill Mountain Maker Camp is located in East Durham, NY at Blackthorne Resort. It’s an event with Blacksmith’s, woodworkers, artists, makers and suppliers. This episode we discussed the upcoming weekend, and we discussed what we’re bringing and what we’ll be doing it and lots of side talk. It was a fun episode and we’re grateful to our friend Ben Snure for subbing in for Cliff. The Next Episode will be a post game wrap-up.

After years of looking for direction, Noah Vachon found it and gained happiness. From a young man in a band, to guitar building, and a degree in industrial design Noah came into knife making later in life and everything clicked. You can clearly see how his experiences formed the way he makes his beautiful culinary knives. It was great talking with him and he’ll definitely be back.

| 24 Sep 2021 | The Return of Keith Decent | 01:57:06 | |
I’ve always wanted to do a comic book episode and think how comics characters established generations ago translate though history. I had my friend Keith Decent stop by and we explored the real origins of some of these iconic characters and looked into the parallels between comic companies attracting young fans and how social media is introducing young people to the maker community. We talked about Keith’s evolution in his new work and can there be TV that represents the maker community? Is something bigger on the horizon? Keith in incredibly talented and has a great podcast called: From The Ground Up which you should listen to and support and has a new episode coming up this week.

| 04 Mar 2022 | Salem Straub Returns! | 01:52:59 | |
If you ask most people in the knife making community to create a list of influential contemporary bladesmiths, it’s hard for me to believe Salem Straub wouldn’t be high in the mix. His style and execution of complicated mosaic, Damascus knives are easily recognizable for the crisp contrasts, intricate patterns and thoughtful decisions. The multi pattern construction also gives purpose to the compound grinds making all the decisions very very well thought out. This got us talking about the future of his work and how his deliberate design emphasis will migrate towards that always tricky transition with the handle. We talked about teaching, tool maintenance and the importance of system accuracy, flow state and the secret to winning Forged In Fire. Salem Straub is a wealth of knowledge and I’m lucky to call him a friend.

Chris Adelhardt is a sculptor, ceramicist martial artist and knife maker who owns Pariah Knives. His work is exact and when he talks about his philosophy and history, you can see the connection between his past and how it reverberate in what he’s doing today. There’s the same finesse and deliberacy in martial arts and ceramics that I see in the execution of Chris’s belt finished blades that are extraordinarily hard to accomplish at his level. We discussed his motivations, told some stories and his decision to move to Texas. Chris is a great guy and I appreciate is candidness.

Jeremy Spake (@jspake on instagram) is a great friend I met a few years ago at The Blade Show in Atlanta. He has become someone I admire for his purity of focus and execution. Everything his does he is very deliberate, calculated and held under the scrutiny of his own high expectations. As with most makers, it all comes from somewhere and Jeremy's story is filled with rock bands, Hollywood animation studios and fabrication studios.

| 12 Nov 2021 | Josh Smith of Montana Knife Company | 01:57:37 | |
At the age of 19, Josh Smith was the youngest person to get the Mastersmith designation from the American Bladesmith Society. Now he is the President of Montana Knife Company, one of the fastest growing production knife companies in the United States. The ground swell of support in the hunting world is a testament to the belief people have in Josh and the person that he is. Knife drops selling out in less than 2 minutes is now the norm for MKC and the demand has led customers to excitement and frustration at the prospect of the getting one or being shut out on a drop day. We had a great conversation about hunting, Josh’s journey and the future of MKC which is pretty exciting. He even dropped some MKC breaking news! On a personal note, I’m sorry I didn’t bring this up on the episode because it stuck with me about the kind of person Josh Smith is. In the beginning of the pandemic my family was hit hard by the first wave, especially my wife who is a frontline worker. Josh would call me and check on her and tried to find out where I lived so he could order food for us. I’ll never forget that and I appreciate his friendship.

| 16 Dec 2022 | Precision Drilling with Fingal Ferguson | 01:54:59 | |
It’s Christmas time and who better to talk food and family than the great Fingal Ferguson. The family farm- Gubbeen is cranking out ham’s and cured meats for the holidays and we talked about what goes into the rush. We talked a lot about food and the science behind curing, brining and developing flavor. We discussed the meaning of life being grateful for the wisdom of age, took care of some weird news and got a top recipe for making bacon at home. FF is the best and love to hang with him always. Happy Holidays- GF

Matt Gentry is a knife maker from Michigan who makes very recognizable knives, very active in the knifemaking Community and on social Media and YouTube. I’ve known Matt for a long time and this is the first time we’ve actually talked. It was a great conversation about how he learned about business after owning a very busy Car detailing company and how to understand growth. It was a lot of fun talking about his work, almost burning down his house and the most disgusting thing he’s had to clean out of a car and just pondering stuff. Matt is awesome and will definitely be back. -Thanks again- GF Follow Matt on Instagram https://instagram.com/gentrycustomknives?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Visit his Website: https://www.gentrycustomknives.com/ Subscribe to his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@gentrycustomknives8008 Support Feder Knives - Follow The Full Blast Podcast on Instagram: https://instagram.com/thefullblastpodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Please subscribe, leave a review and tell your friends about the show. it helps me out a lot!

| 29 Jul 2022 | Live from Barcelona with Tomer Botner | 01:15:43 | |
I’ve been extremely fortunate to be here in Barcelona, Spain as a guest of my dear friends Tomer and Noam, owners of Florentine Kitchen Knives to co-teach a knifemaking workshop for the second time. And as we had a little time before my flight home, we recorded an episode that would have been completely different if we talked in the beginning of the trip. After spending a few days with Tomer and walking the streets, seeing the people and eating the extraordinary food I really saw the influence Barcelona has had on Florentine Kitchen Knives. I don’t believe it’s intentional; it feels like the most sincere form of cultural osmosis. The similarities Florentine Kitchen Knives have to the direction of the food scene is apparent. We talked especially about his friend and my favorite chef in the world Borja. At his restaurant Ultramarinos Marin, we were treated to the most delicious food I’d ever had. Each dish was the opposite of “tweezer food” - simple with little garnish, a few bites to share as most Tapas is and the flavors were surprisingly overwhelming. The best food i’ve ever had, has been cooked by Borja. No question. We talked about him and his connection to Florentine Kitchen Knives and it was fantastic to see Tomer & Noam in a different light after an amazing few days. We’ll definitely be having the workshop next year. I can’t thank them enough for their incredible hospitality and friendship. If there’s a word that’s more than “thank you” I’d definitely use that… Mucho Gracias-GF Visit Florentine Kitchen Knives website where you can custom order your knife online: https://florentinekitchenknives.com/ Follow Florentine Kitchen Knives on instagram: https://instagram.com/florentinekitchenknives?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Follow chef Borja on Instagram: https://instagram.com/bor_jamon_iberico?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Follow his incredible restaurant Ultramarinos Marin on Instagram: https://instagram.com/ultramarinosmarin?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Follow Full Blast and interact with the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefullblastpodcast/ Please subscribe, leave a review and tell your friends about the show. it helps me out a lot!

| 09 Jul 2021 | Reclaiming Keith Decent | 02:01:23 | |
Keith Decent is a maker, artist, content creator and overall fun guy. As a young man he learned coding on his own to build websites and after being disillusioned by the corporate direction of art school he struck it out on his own. His YouTube channel is a fun foray into his style- flush with humanity and spontaneity. Reclaimed and upcycled projects, using rusty tools found in the bottom of buckets Keith brings you on a journey where the end result is not perfect but sincere. I really enjoyed our conversation about his direction whether it be about his love of ice cream and the projects that resulted from it, his series on making guitars and his celebration of imperfect quality control. When you look at the body of his work, especially on his YouTube Channel you are seeing his development as an artist. These videos are a look in the Artist’s notebook; some videos are like a sketch of an idea made on a whim. An artist should celebrate growth as apposed to following trends and the viewer should should be able to trace the evolution of work. Keith has the receipts of his direction and the viewer can wind their way through his thought process. I’m looking forward to what’s next and you should too.

| 22 Apr 2022 | The Downward Spiral: Smuggler’s Blues | 01:34:51 | |
For Episode 100 I hade my original Podcasting partner back. Niko Tavernise and I had a podcast 12ish years ago called “The Downward Spiral” where we’d catch up on what we’re doing- Niko is a Set photographer in the film industry and has a unique perspective on Hollywood. Then we’d spiral; I roam the Internet looking for weird stories of depravity and we’d dissect them. Recently the ones I find the most fun are about smugglers and what they go through to get their contraband across boarders. This week we told some personal smuggling stories and find ourselves with people getting caught in unfortunate ways. DSP is one of my favorite things to do and I love Niko like a brother, so getting to host ‘reunion’ eps on Full Blast is really awesome. Go back in the Archives of FB to hear earlier eps of The Downward Spiral. Thanks for all the support of the Show, I’m overwhelmed and I appreciate the hell out of you.

| 18 Dec 2020 | Nick Anger will make a sword to save the world | 01:50:31 | |
How a huge Child became a Giant Bladesmith
Nick Anger (pronounced 'On-Jay) is my favorite bladesmith. His construction, composition and contrast is backed up by strong philosophic understanding of what he is doing and what he wants to do. His technical understanding is so engrained, that he transcends the execution of the build and allows himself the ability to be spontaneous like a sculptor. Letting the raw materials dictate the final form makes him the shepherd as he guides his sheep to the pasture of victory.
An exclusive conversation with Nick who was a child seeking belonging in Vermont, spent years working in Mental Health as well as a blacksmith, fabricator and a baker 'heat treating wheat'. I've been working to get him for a long time and i'm thrilled it worked out.
By all means follow him on Instagram:

| 22 Jul 2022 | Full Blast with Benjamin Kamon | 01:49:01 | |
Benjamin Kamon of Kamon Knives is an Austrian Blademith whose work has graced the cover of Blade Magazine and is held in high regard in the knife making community. When you look at his work the design decisions he makes are beautiful, elegant and well thought out. The contrast between forged blade and mechanically fastened handle are stunning and must come from his experiences between being a mechanic working on huge trucks and his time as blacksmith fabricating railings and ornamental iron. We had a great talk about how he developed his signature style, forging and paying respect to the legend Lin Rhea. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to having him on again.

| 10 Jun 2022 | DSP: From The Vault: You Can’t Get Anything for Free (originally EP.49) | 01:14:48 | |
This episode of the Downward Spiral was recorded in 2012 When Niko Tavernise and I were regularly going to either his porch or my shop with a bottle of booze and recording an episode. This particular episode Niko was working on the film Noah with Russell Crow(see I knew who it was) Back from filming in Iceland, we just wanted to shoot the breeze, tell funny stories and fool around.

| 16 Jul 2022 | Mert Tansu is back! | 01:39:43 | |
Meet Tansu is back and we had a great conversation. Owner and Bladesmith of Tansu Knives and Hunter Valley Blades, Mert has a unique perspective in the knife making game. Born in Turkey, he moved to the US as a chef, met his wife in the hospitality business and decided to take a chance on living in Australia for a bit. Life was good and the slower pace allowed for more free time. So after years of collecting and using knives Meat had the opportunity to take a class and his rise as a world class knifemaker took off. The conversation on creativity and the similarities between cooking and knife making was an eye opener for me and is great philosophy for any maker. We talked about The international Wootz Society and all the great events coming up in Australia. And the podcast he’s on called Knife Making Down Under and the importance of it for Australians during lock down. A lot of fun and I look forward to seeing Mert and the guys next year at Blade.

| 12 Mar 2021 | The Voyage of Salem Straub | 01:56:35 | |
Arguably one of America’s best bladesmiths, Salem Straub of Promethian Knives, didn’t have it easy. The journey towards the man he is today came through personal growth during turbulent times where it was difficult to see a very positive future. Victory came though hard work, focus and the kindness of others. Salem is synonymous with forging very tight Damascus knives that feel flawless. Salem’s damascus patterns is evocative of what you see through a kaleidoscope and has the perfect repetitions of textiles. His use of forge welding a contrasting pattern along the belly of the blade, that borders the bottom of his “compound grind”, is a design decision that makes the “S Grind” not an after thought, but as integral to the knife as the blade cascading out of the bolster. The word ‘exquisite’ isn’t enough of a description for Salem’s work: he’s established a body of work that is unparalleled in the knife making community. Go follow Salem on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salemstraub/ Go to his website: https://www.prometheanknives.com/ He is also teaching at The Center for Metal Arts.

| 18 Feb 2022 | James Fleming of Wasteland Forge | 01:56:12 | |
James Fleming is a US Army combat Veteran who is now a full time Bladesmith in Iowa. We had an interesting conversation starting off talking about how our upbringing and relationships with our parents influence our parenting now. We touched on James’s early days leading him into military service and the difficult transition into civilian life and ultimately becoming a Bladesmith. James has a frontier style and one of the things he makes is a war club that was influenced by muskets, which lead to a fun dive into American History. James is getting ready to test for the ABS Journeyman smith test and we’re all pulling for him. Thanks James for your flexibility, time and candor.

| 30 Oct 2020 | The Return of the Downward Spiral Podcast with Niko Tavernise! | 01:34:17 | |
Set Photographer to the Stars and my old podcast partner arrives to bring me to tears and set me straight!
Niko Tavernise is the Hollywood Set Photographer who has taken the still shots on films like: Joker, the John Wick movies, Spiderman 2, The Irishman, The Post, Moonrise K ingdom and Black Swan to name a few. Before his rocket ship career took off he and I had a dopey podcast about 10 years ago called "The Downward Spiral", where we would show up to each others backyards with beer, talk about what's going on and then investigate weird news stories on the internet. As the intro said "We start off strong, then its downhill all the way".
This episode after a 5 year hiatus is the best DSP by a mile. Age has mellowed us and some of the stories we talked about brought me to tears of laughter. Niko is one of the most fascinating people I know and is one of my greatest friends. He has an open invite to "cast" as he used to say and I can't wait till he comes back.
Go follow Niko on Instagram for one of the best pages with all the iconic pics you've already seen:

| 30 Jun 2023 | Riley Kirkpatrick | 01:59:39 | |
Before social media, there was a concern about how forging will flourish in the future. There were lots of organizations, guilds and small groups devoted to people in the community, but how do you get more exposure to the general public? With the rise of social media, more talented blacksmiths, blade smiths and farriers are exposing to the world the beauty of forging. And if thats the case, right now a lot of them have seen it being done by Riley Kirkpatrick. Riley is a very skilled Farrier and blacksmith who has had an incredible rise in the social media game. With short form content showing excellent forging, people are taking notice and I for one am grateful. Most likely more people are being exposed to general forging from Riley than any organization devoted to it. We had a great conversation about his life, farrier school, long days and what it takes to service horse ranches. And we talked about Riley’s great podcast “Forging Brains” on Spotify. Riley is an important voice in the forging world; I’m glad he’s here and we will definitely see him again! Thanks again for your flexibility and generosity with your time.

Jesse Savage is back and on the way to Center of Metal Arts to teach a weekend workshop with his wife Carrie. We always have a good time talking about blacksmithing, history and what we’ve been up to. We also remembered my teacher Uri Hofi, who was a big influence on a lot of people’s lives. We talked about his late in life start in blacksmithing, his teachers, students and legacy and what defines his hammer style. It took a few weeks to figure out how to eulogize Hofi and I’m glad Jesse was on the ep to help me out. Many Thanks Jesse.

| 03 Dec 2021 | The Return of Pat Quinn and CMA 2022 | 01:54:25 | |
Pat Quinn is the Executive Director of Center for Metal Arts in Johnstown PA and has returned to the podcast in time to talk about the release of the new 2022 classes available at CMA. Besides talking about the school we had an engaging conversation about forging, sculpture and what Pat is focusing on in his life’s work. The eloquence and passion Pat exudes is inspiring and makes you want to spark up the forge and get some steel in the fire. Dedication, discipline and striving for excellence becomes contagious and Pat has finally answered the question I’ve been searching for: What is the roll of the modern day Blacksmith? Thanks Pat!

| 20 Jan 2023 | Jason Knight: Conduit to Generations | 01:44:26 | |
Master bladesmith Jason Knight is one of the most recognizable Knifemakers today. From his years as a student of some of the best Bladesmiths in the world to teaching the new top talents, Jason has carved his reputation as generous, talented, innovative, hardworking and a lot fun. His interpretation of the Nepalese Kukri is one of his calling cards. We talked about the history of the Kukri and the renowned Gurkha soldiers, Jason’s time living in New York and we hit upon something I’m going to spend the next 2 episodes on: Passing the torch from the past towards the future. How we view craftsmanship over generations and how that passing of information evolves. Many thanks to Jason for your flexibility and candor. Support Jason and his family, with the various gofundme’s to raise money in response to the fire he had at his shop this past Christmas Eve.

| 01 Feb 2024 | Coy Baker of Baker Forge | 01:49:24 | |
Coy Baker of Baker Forge makes some of the most beautiful, consistent and extraordinary exotic steel in the United States. From learning how to forge as a hobby, he worked in the family painting company taking it over from his father. After growing the family business, Coy started forging exotic steels and selling it out of his garage shop. As demand grew he used his business and leadership training to grow Baker forge in what it is today. It’s an amazing story of dedication and the successful execution of an idea into a business. And trust me we talked all about Gator Piss, the most talked about etchant in the world, sold globally by the way and Coy dropped a bomb on the future product Baker Forge will offer. Many thanks to Coy for the time and we’ll definitely do it again. Thanks again - GF Go to Baker Forge to see the amazing steels they make and get on the Newsletter:

| 01 Jul 2022 | The Work For it Podcast Crossover | 01:48:57 | |
This Crossover is actually kind of a part 2. Last week I was on the Work For it Podcast with Brian House and Bryan Kohn and we had a fun time there. The episode is titled “Blast off with Geoff Feder” and feel free to listen to it before this one. But you’ll get what’s going on if you don’t. I listen to the Work for it Podcast every thursday and enjoy it so you should too. This episode was interesting because we touched on an issue that’s going on in the maker community and I was completely un aware of it. So I had an unbiased take based on what I was presented with. We talked small biz stuff, raising kids, generational responsibility and these guys were fun to have on. Open invite. Next time we’ll get Ben on too.

| 13 Aug 2021 | More is More: Fingal Ferguson | 01:54:19 | |
Fingal Ferguson is a fifth generation farmer at Gubbeen, one of Ireland’s most sought after Smoked Meat and Cheese Makers in West Cork. He’s also a world class Knifemaker and all around charming guy. Anytime his name comes up, its followed by: “is one of the nicest guys you’ll meet”. This is true. Fingal’s parents made a shift in the direction of the farm where they slowly started producing cheese from the cows and smoked meats from the pigs that they raised. The direct connection to customers at farmers markets must have added to Fingal’s disarming and jovial nature and strong connection to his community. It’s hard not to see a connection in the positive support his parents had on him; encouraging him when he started making smoked salami’s and chorizo and as they became successful with customers he would ramp up production. That how the cheese making started: ‘lets try it out’. The success of Gubbeen and the ideas springing from it also encompassed knife making. Coming from a cooking family, Fingal slowly began making knives after learning about maintaining his own. We talked a lot about the farm and the beautiful book his mother wrote about their life called “Gubbeen”. We talked about Food, wine and what’s next for Fingal and his family. It was a really enjoyable conversation with someone I look up to and consider a friend. Thanks FF.

| 07 Mar 2025 | Remembering Steve Pellegrino | 00:59:22 | |
Steve Pellegrino passed away on February 27 from injuries in car accident on his way home from his shop. He was an awesome Bladesmith and a good friend. I thought on this episode I would tell some stories about him and talk about his work. Incredible talent, kind, generous and happy. This unthinkable tragedy has rocked the maker and knifemaking community and frankly even writing this is unbelievable. I Send my deepest condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace Steve.

It was a fascinating conversation on who they are how they met and what are the chances that meeting on FIF would create this partnership. Fast forward to Brodbeck grinders are now on the set of of the show they met on. Stories of immigrating from violence torn El Salvador to taking a chance on a partnership, Brodbeck Ironworks is an example of the American Dream.

I am running the New York City marathon after running it 12 years ago on the Michael J. Fox Foundation team. This Foundation is raising money for Parkinson’s disease research. I’m so proud to be back with them and slightly terrified to be dragging my old ass over 26 + miles around the 5 Boroughs. This ep I tell a lot of stories of how Running was a severe punishment for me as a kid and how I changed my mind about it. I cross some funny roads and am not giving any words of encouragement or motivation don’t worry- zero jive.

Matt Parkinson is a Bladesmith and Swordmarker, of Dragons Breath Forge in Wolcott, Connecticut, a ABS Journeyman Smith and the first ever Forged in Fire Champion. We had a great time talking about how he got his start and his love of swords. His experience building them and how knowing the history has given him a unique perspective on famous swords and how to spot fakes. We talked about what forging is and the misconceptions, how he came into teaching and embarrassing moments at renaissance fairs. Matt is the man and I suggest going to the Dragons Breath Forge for his upcoming classes. Also check out the Mystic Knife show. Thanks again Matt for a great time, we’ll definitely do it again.

| 27 Jan 2023 | Jordan LaMothe: Conduit to Generations | 01:46:43 | |
Master bladesmith Jordan LaMothe is back, fresh off a 9 month adventure in India. Last we saw Jordan he was on the way to Blade Show to test for the ABS Master Bladesmith designation and he came back with the MS stamp, multiple awards and stories to tell. I’ve been waiting patiently for Jordan to return to tell us what it was like as a Fulbright scholar studying Swords, knives, the beautiful culture of Udaipur and the ornate craft of Koftgari. This style of overlaying of gold wire is very different than inlaying. Koftgari is preparing the surface material with a crosshatching technique that created fine teeth for the wire to catch creating a raised line. Jordan’s studies of Koftgari adds to the concept of being a Conduit to Generations; learning and passing along the rich information and his role as an educator. As a newly minted Mastersmith it was very interesting to hear how it affected him, if he feels his time in India will influence his future work. I’ve been promised a Dal Bati recipe from Jordan, and as soon as I get it from him I’ll pass it along. Thanks you Jordan for your flexibility and generosity! Its always great talking with you and look forward to seeing you on 6th street.

Cliff Dufton, John Erianne, Jesse Savage joined me on the one year anniversary episode and we talked about the origin of the highly decorated Modern Forge team. How it started, won 7 editors choice blue ribbons at Maker Faire and what our plans are for the up coming Catskill Mt. Maker’s camp this coming October. These guys are some of the most talented people I know and some of my favorite people on the planet. We laughed told stories and I dropped some news about where I’ll be in 2022.
