  • Interview with Jayden Simisky
    May 5 2025

    Thanks for listening to Episode 39 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Jayden Simisky.I only became aware of Jayden's work in the last couple of years, but in that short period of time, Jayden has really found a way to exemplify his own creative take on the form, function, and design of knives. From Bowies and choppers to culinary knives, Jayden is exploring it all. I am very interested to get to know him better for the person he is, the maker he has become, and where he sees the future in this craft.You can see more of Jayden's work on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jaydensimisky/Or on his website here:https://www.theslacksmith.com/ Thanks so much to this month’s Super Sponsors: 🌟 Dan Hubbs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/66MountainKnives 🌟 Lawrence Lake on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maritimeknifesupply🌟 Gabe Fletcher on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anchoragebrewing 🌟 Josh A.

  • Interview with Tre' Hill
    Apr 7 2025

    Thanks for listening to Episode 38 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Tre' Hill.

    I have been following Tre's work for a few years now and had the great fortune of meeting him at Blade Show in Atlanta last June. It was awesome to see his work in person, and I was struck by the hamons on his blades, and the quality of the finish he was getting on both his Damasteel and hamon blades. I am really excited to get to know Tre' better in this conversation, to learn more about his polishing techniques, and to share that with you!

  • Interview with Josh Weston
    Mar 3 2025

    Thanks for listening to Episode 37 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Josh Weston.

    I am very excited to have my friend, Josh Weston, joining the Artisans of Steel podcast this month. I first discovered Josh's work in 2012, when I came across a forging progression for a tomahawk made out of a railroad spike. I didn't know it was Josh's until I saw him compete on Forged in Fire. Josh is now part of the very exciting Dragon Forge Experience, and is one of the most creative guys I know, making both fantastical and historical reproductions of swords and knives. Over the years we've gotten to know each other, and become good buddies, and I'm really excited to dive in and share some of his creativity with you!You can see more of Josh's work on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/joshaweston and https://www.instagram.com/dragonforgeexpOr check out his website, here:https://www.joshaweston.com/Thanks so much to this month’s Super Sponsors: 🌟 Josh A.
