概要
In this episode of Behind The Anvil, host Michael Peterson sits down with Chris Jones of Steel Dog Knives to talk about the real journey of building a knife-making business from the ground up. Chris shares how an unexpected season of medical recovery — and binge-watching Forged in Fire — sparked his path into bladesmithing. Eight years later, he opens up about transitioning from hobbyist to full-time maker, balancing a new tech career starting March 9th, and navigating the financial and time-management challenges of running a small custom shop. The conversation dives deep into fixed blades vs. folders, chef knife geometry, heat treatment, pricing luxury custom blades, and the importance of constructive criticism from fellow makers. Michael and Chris also tackle knife show networking, misleading “handmade” imports, Facebook ad struggles, AI innovation, and why building relationships matters more than booth sales. From shop talk to steel science to tech and AI, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and a few good laughs — all forged in the spirit of craftsmanship and community...
