    Best Podcast!
    These guys are always keeping me company in the shop. The trio is hilarious, brilliant, and so helpful. Aside from all the banter and breadth of knowledge, I also am excited to partake in an amazing learning opportunity this year at the NECM through Maritime Knife Supply, and I only knew about it because they mentioned it on the podcast. It’s a life changing opportunity and I owe all the gratitude to this show. Thanks guys!!

    Great Podcast for Your Ear Holes
    Knife Talk Podcast is not just an entertaining podcast, it's also an education. Whether you're a current maker or thinking of giving it a go, the topics covered will point you in the right direction. The podcast is hosted by three very talented makers whose chemistry leads to a delicious cocktail for the ears. On occasion they share valuable marital advice and bedroom tips, helpful when you're done making and ready to start making. Right.

    Great show!
    A brilliant show all around. Great combination of comedy, wisdom, instruction and error. I listen every week just to see what will happen next. The Howard Stern Show of knifemaking!

    Entertaining
    I have enjoyed this podcast from the very beginning. It has been great to witness the evolution over the years. The current format with all 3 hosts in attendance is when it is most entertaining. Though not categorized as humor I have experienced more laughs than with any comedy podcast.

    More than just knives
    The hosts of knife talk put beautiful effort into their content, their support to the sponsors, their diligence to staying on schedule every week even when there are difficult life hiccups, and their energy and chemistry with each other is hilarious. All three of them have different skill sets and knife knowledge across the board and the guests they choose fill any possible knowledge gaps seamlessly. No matter who you are, they will have you laughing and hitting next episode!

    The good stuff
    I am listening again. I enjoy the show and the cast, and I am happy they have returned to their old format. The quality of the show is much greater without the distracting, poor audio quality call-ins.

    Amazing podcast with great knowledge and entertainment
    The three hosts have great chemistry and knowledge of knifemaking. All three have different takes on the subject and different life experiences. It makes for a very insightful and entertaining show. Love to listen while driving and in shop.

    Great podcast!
    I love listening to Knife Talk while working in my shop or driving when I can’t be in my shop. Thank y’all for a great show!
  • JSmith8169
    Great show
    I’ve been listening since it was just Craig by himself in the early days. But with Geoffe and Mareco it’s very entertaining and informative.

    Love the content, hate the intrusive ad’s
    So I will start by saying I love this podcast. Great hosts, nice mix of knife and off topic chats, funny and educational all around, which is why I gave it 5 stars. My only negative thing to say so the ad’s. They literally just happen in the middle of them talking. I don’t know if the podcast client they use does that (I don’t know how their podcast system works) but someone will be mid sentence, then BAM, ad about something unrelated to the audience. Still definitely worth the listen, just be aware of the random ad’s that pop in and out. Also not a negative, but their use of the sound board is a little cheesy and out of place to me. Again, that’s just my taste. Love the show and keep it up!

  • andrew_lich
    #1 knife themed podcast in the universe
    It’s a fact. They will make you laugh, they will make you cry, and they will give you all the secrets to becoming the next world class knife making legend. Listen if you don’t believe me. Anyone can do it! Take notes, buy their knives, and check out all the discounts from the subtle ads. You’ll be making so much money. The guys are doing some amazing things by connecting people all over the world and strengthening the maker community. Ideas, tips, and tricks are available at your fingertips and ear holes. Tune in and absorb on your way to knife making genius. Bye

    Instagram bots be warned
    Let me tell you something this review should be four stars because some of these gentlemen believe pineapple is okay on pizza... That being said, if you want to learn about knives, wet your pants from laughter, pass time in the shop, or hear three grown men argue about food this is the podcast for you.
  • Serhrocker
    These guys are the best!!
    Obviously the knife material is the best. Bar none! But these guys are also so relatable. Love the personal insight and feel like I have gotten to know them personally . Morocco mama see, darth feder, and the smasher are the best! Keep it full blast!
  • Lemmett7
    Family fun
    My husband forces me to listen to this all the time and I fear our son is slowly being corrupted by it as well. However, it’s funny sometimes.
  • Khaleesi557
    Learn something new every time
    Every time I listen to the show I pick up some new information. It can be something groundbreaking for me (Mareko’s quench then sub critical anneal has really cleared up some warping issues for me) or it can be Something as simple as Geoff’s thoughts on what “art” truly is. And of course Craig is there to hold the show together so it doesn’t fall off the rails and provide excellent business and design advice. Great show these guys have put together, always worth a listen.

  • Bun stinks
    Down to earth talking with great guys
    I absolutely love this podcast, there was that one episode when Mereko must have been gone because Geoff interviewed Craig, it was hilarious. Craig was talking about how he got drunk at work & was throwing corks at people & ............what a minute that was the Full Blast podcast my apologies. Knife talk is one of the best podcasts out there. Regular guys that work hard at what they do and give their time to help others. They have helped me many time & I truly appreciated it. Thanks to each of you for your part in making this podcast.

    I’m with you!
    Settling the debate about today’s world problems! All the serious questions of today’s troubled times dutifully answered. I have it on good authority the Feder does this podcast with no pants. Absolutely worth the listen, clothing optional!

    A Few of my Favorite Things
    My top 5 list of Knife Talk things #1: Craig is a mad genius. He’s from Wales, or England, or France or somewhere like that. I haven’t figured it out yet, but he has a great accent. #B: Mareko is a crazy talented knife maker who can’t help but say “sub critical anneal” on almost every podcast. I don’t know what this means but it sounds awesome. #3: When Goeff laughs, it is absolutely contagious. Sort of like spreading Covid but in a good way. #IV: They sometimes have awesome guests like Steve Schwarzer, Jason Knight, Dr.Larrin Thomas, or Ben Jammincocker. #5: They get you cool discount codes. I like to take advantage of these. For example, I got discounted blacksmith tools, can sand with rhynowet sheets, and my nuts look fantastic.

    Knifetalk... the podcast,the myth, the legend
    Well to be 100% honest the intro jingles alone get the 5 star rating. Tho this trio of articulate cutlery gurus have spared me from ever dreading another Monday again. Rather I now just want my mediocre weekends to conclude just to hear about Geoff romance in the blue lagoon making out with the “coconut man”. Or Craig’s survivors story’s of rearing twin baby’s & Marekos superior pizza skills Much love & many thanks for the laughs & knowledge~Zack Lewis (Forge_n_Feathers)
  • The Noahnator
    Da purfect podcast
    Mareko, G-off, and Craig do an amazing job. They get me to full chuff every time I hear their creamy voices. Cheers guys keep up the mediocre work.
  • GootCustoms
    The best!
    These three dudes (hey cuties) put it all out there every week, it’s always a joy to get to hear the podcast! I enjoy all the awesome info that gets shared as well as the laughs 👊🏼🍻🔥
  • Nifehouse
    I’m with you
    I’ve listened to every episode. Can definitively say Mareko, Craig and Geoff make my Monday mornings better. Turn up Full Blast for a deep educational journey into the world of knife making and makers...flavored with a lick of dick jokes. Huh huh huh...I said “lick of dick”. Aaahuh huh.
  • noclue2004

    They cured my furious case of ibs
    After one episode the vibrations from dr. Jeff’s voice opened my third eye and shut my butthole tight as mareco’s (sic) mosaic patterns. Also Craig’s sexy editing fixed my E.D. Thank you gentlemen couldn’t have done it without you. Love always Troski @noblesavageforge.
  • Awesome digital master

Along with that have learned some valuable life changing skills from peens, to pizza making, shaving the boys, applying zinc cream, etc. keep it up!
  • The Powerful Merkin
    Something for everyone!
    Between Mareko’s forging, damascus and sharpening advice; Geoff’s color commentary and psychoanalysis of every guests actions and childhood; Lord Lockwood’s award winning bolognese recipe and tips for dealing with Chinese customer service this podcast is sure to have something for everyone. Keep up the great work
  • Robmniche
    Worth the listen
    These guys devote so much time and energy to put this together for us. I can’t count the tips and tricks that I have picked up from listening to the three every week. Yeah... every week. You can look forward to something new every Monday morning. Talk about cool. That said... you may hear a wiener joke or two but hey, who doesn’t like those. 🤣
  • 0sully

    Knife talk number one
    Are you looking for a good time? But sick of calling the number on the bathroom stall that only leads to self anguish and despair? Do you like saying “pokey” and “stabby”? And also like pokey and stabby things? How about listening to three guys jerking each other’s chains and havin’ a laugh? All while the world descends into utter chaos and ruin!!!??? Do you like sitting by yourself, quietly snickering away as you polish your steel? And also hiding from your responsibilities? How about comparing pien shape, size and weight with the bros? And at the same time enjoy a simultaneous golden shower of dick jokes forth with to ponder?! Do you enjoy pounding hot metal against your mandrel and precariously placing your tongs between your soft thighs to assist in your endeavor? And then proudly smirking to yourself as you quietly whisper “dick tongs” to yourself? If you answered at least one out of the last seventy six questions with an enthusiastic yes!!! Then you have found the ultimate listening pleasure experience podcast on the internets!!! Go on, give it a listen, I dare you Cletus...
  • Shervindesigns
    These guys are the best!
    I was listening to an episode and they were giving great advice. Geoff said “stop telling your significant other about your knife making. They don’t care.” At the time I was making my girlfriend listen to knife talk. She looked at me and said, you need to take that advice. Then she turned off the podcast. They should change the name to the Three Wise Men!
  • Skab Leatherwork and Forge
    Why listen to anything else
    I’ve got my whole family hooked on listening. Ok maybe because I’m the one driving and they are forced to listen. But my kids love listening to Feder tell Dick jokes and the other two egg him on

    Best 300 hours of my life!
    I have listened to every single episode of the Knifetalk podcast. That is, at this moment, 149 episodes. At around 2 hrs a pop, that calculates to about 300 hours or 12 1/2 days of listening pleasure. There are so many things that make this podcast a home run for me and worth every second I spent listening to it. 1) The Content: I have picked up so many tips and tricks: knife related, cooking related, and just how to be a good person. I leave every podcast wishing it didn’t stop. They have had some amazing guests that are true experts in their craft. 2) The Humor: Although very informational, this podcast does not take itself too seriously. I can’t tell you how many times I had to stop driving or stop using a power tool because I have laughed too hard. Please note this is not a child appropriate podcast. 3) The Community: We you start listening to this podcast you instantly become part of the knife making community. I’m a hobbiest knife maker, but through the podcast I have been connected with so many different knife makers within and without my community that wouldn’t have happened without the podcast. I have been in Knifetalk zoom meetings and chat boards that have truly helped me become a better knife maker. More often than not when I ask a question they answer it on the podcast. They even answered my 8 year old daughter’s question. The knife making community is extremely tight and helpful and Knifetalk is truly at the hub of it all. If you are a maker I more than highly recommend this podcast. I guarantee after listening if you are not a knife maker you will be making your first knife soon!

    THE knife podcast
    Love the show. All three hosts bring something great and unique to the conversation. Thankfully they don’t just talk knives, they also talk about lives. Positive and upbeat and they don’t feel the need to denigrate other makers. All three are an asset to the knife community. Thank you for all you guys do and for making Mondays worth looking forward to.
