Episode Details

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.
