I've had the honor to speak with some of the greatest living knifemakers on this podcast, and pick their brains about their craftsmanship and creativity in the industry. But with all things, I try to expand the collective consciousness of my listeners, and my guest Michael Janich very much does the same with everyone he comes in contact with. As the brain behind Martial Blade Concepts and as Special Projects Coordinator at Spyderco, Michael combines his deep level of knowledge on edged-weapons and their use within martial arts and self protection with real world and intimate utilization of blades, designs, and how to effectively utilize them for protection. I feel that feeds into how we as makers contend with purpose build blades, and as we deconstruct conflict and the thought process around how one should think of blades as tools of defense, I hope you can grasp the benefit Michael has given us in taking so much time to discuss his philosophy and thoughts.
