Excellent interview! I really enjoyed the dive into some of those wild historic knives and his insights into them! His customs are out of reach for me but I’m so glad to hear his end goal is some sort of production in the US because I would love to own one of his designs!

Another great interview Bob, I’m definitely going to check out more of Evan’s work, I’m a little familiar but definitely going to look more into his work, it all looked amazing.
