Andrew Farlaino of Trained Monkey Blade Co. joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 502 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (theknifejunkie.com/502).
Andrew first envisioned what would become Trained Monkey Blade Co. while on deployment with the USMC in Korengal Valley, Afghanistan. After numerous deployments and even more equipment failures, Andrew set out to start from scratch and build the best hard use blades he could.
Andrew took lessons learned from the many GWOT environments he served in and created the foundation of Trained Monkey Blade Co. Trained Monkey is the Farlaino family business with his wife Gina and his children playing pivotal roles in maintaining and growing the company.
