Hello everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of Knafs@Nite. This is a show where we talk about Knafs, things adjacent to Knafs, and other things - not always related to Knafs.
This week, we're addressing the elephant in the room - tariffs! Ben in Austin will dive into what they are, why they're here, and how they will impact the knife world. There's also going to be some Lander talk, dead fish, and seaweed.
Let's Gooooooooooo

Tariffs
The buzzword in the world lately is "tariffs". So much so that it's hard to avoid hearing about them. But what are they? Why do we need to pay attention to their impact? Ben and Austin do a great job covering all the bases on this week's dose of inside baseball.
Also, we meet Future Ben. He's a lot like Present Ben, but with a time machine made out of a DeLorean. Okay, it might be a minivan - but still - time travel!!
Quick Break!
The boys take a quick break to talk about the new and wicked limited Lunar Lander 4. We may be biased, but this knife is really beautiful - and each one is unique.
Field Trip!
Last year, Ben took a trip to Germany to hang out with Janek from Daily Customs Shop. The guys tour the shop and factory, which is really great if you want to see how knives are made.
Ship Shape Sharpening Shop
Hanging out with Keith for this part of the show is one of the best parts of it all. You know why? He's really sharp! (Dad Joke #1)
Tariff Talk: Just Make It Here
A lot of people grapple with the reality of making knives here instead of overseas. It's not easy for a lot of reasons.
Ben also shows off some Micarta scales for something upcoming - and then refuses to talk about them. Future Ben would talk about them, just saying.
Moon Crew Moment

Tadakimi's Custom Lander Scales
Tadakimi has been sharing his iterations of his unique Lander 1 scales on the Moon Crew for a couple of months now. He sent one in for the boys to check out.
Moon Pie Coin Knife
It's everything you think it is, on a keychain.
@leveler267 Enjoys the Drama!
A couple of episodes ago, we talked about Benchmade and guns, or guns and Benchmade. Either way.
@greysonosterberg7101 Questions the Lander 5
Why is the Lander 5 in the Lander lineup? Why not?!?!
@bryangravely Ponders Coincidence
Was it intentional to number the Landers? Other brands do it. Is it just a coincidence?
@BFVgnr Talks About Bears, Kinda.
Have you ever said "Bexar" out loud? How did you say it?
@KawikaLee408 Broke a Keychain and Went to Taiwan
Not really, but it is part of a Ben story. Past Ben, actually. Present Ben shares. Future Ben is nowhere to be found.
@mcsquirgle Doesn't Like Keychain Knives
But still gives the Lander 6 a chance!

Return to Tariffs: Holy Smokes!
If you haven't seen President Trump's tariff chart, you get to now! Ben talks about his frustration. But he's not angry. Sidenote: We don't think Ben gets angry.
Well, Future Ben might. Let's see how these tariffs play out!
Ben shares some more inside baseball about those awesome Micarta scales from earlier. Turns out it has to do with a new knife being made in-house.
Product Spotlight
This week we're focusing on the Sancho - as well as Austin's commitment to writing with his.
Fresh Prints
This Mech-Tortoise is beyond description. 9 days of printing, people!! 7 hours of assembly! We're living in the future (with Future Ben!)
Boom. Done!
We end this week's episode of Knafs@Nite with some snacks. Seaweed, little fish. Feels like it's an acquired taste. Okay, judging by the way Ben and Austing react - it totally is!!!
