Behind The Anvil Podcast — Michael Peterson Sits Down With Himself In this episode of Behind The Anvil, host Michael Peterson sits down with himself for a personal update on the knife business, his return to driving truck, and what’s ahead for the podcast. Michael talks about pausing custom knife orders and knife-making classes for the foreseeable future while he focuses on personal projects and driving truck. He also looks ahead to getting back into knife making later this year, including Christmas orders and some new mosaic Damascus projects. From there, the conversation moves into Michael’s experience as a coal hauler, his thoughts on coal, nuclear power, and America’s energy future, and why reliable energy matters more than ever. Michael also talks about his plans for a new studio, paying down debt, and ways listeners can support Behind The Anvil as the show continues to grow. Then the conversation turns to the American beef herd. Michael discusses how cattle numbers are now comparable to levels seen decades ago, despite the U.S. population being roughly three times larger. He looks at drought, fuel costs, cattle prices, and the difficult choices ranchers are facing. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about knives, trucking, energy, agriculture, and the American economy — with Michael doing what he does best: sharing his thoughts and encouraging listeners to do their own research.
