At the end of April, the Oklahoma Knife Group (Previously the Knife Group Association of Oklahoma (KGA)) will be hosting its knife show. And on the doorstep of that, I thought it'd be great to talk to Shawn Shropshire - President, and talk about the group, their over 25 years of association, and its growth over the past several years after it's rebrand. But, what I really wanted to dig into was Shawn's particular avenue of knives, including his work in frontier knives. With over 20 years of knifemaking under his belt, the thing that strikes me about Shawn is his love of knife education and history, which bleeds into every aspect of his making. Along with his accomplice Deke Parker, Shawn has started the Wandering Bladesmith, where they travel and experience the world of knives and making across the globe. I can't say enough good things about Shawn, he's a gentleman, scholar, and all around great guy, and I got to spend some time getting a more in-depth picture of all of this on the show!
Check out Shawn on social media with his Instagram, Facebook, as well as The Wandering Bladesmith IG, and give a follow to the Oklahoma Knife Group on Instagram and Facebook!
