Knafs@Nite - February 14, 2025

Who Is Ovidio Calvet?

Ovidio is a knife guru and maker who drives a Prius with lots of knife-sharpening stuff in the back. He is the biggest Spanish-speaking YouTuber on the planet. All of this is true.

DobleOKnives

Ovidio and his partner, Pablo, run DobleOKnives a custom knife shop out of Mexico City, Mexico. In a few minutes, Ben is going to hold up a heck of a knife. That's the Ronin 2.0.

What's Next For Ovidio

1. This summer he will launch his first collaboration with TOPS Knives.
2. He's working on making some of his custom knives, production knives.
3. More driving around Mexico City in his Prius making sure everyone's knives are sharp.
4. More YouTube content (of course!).
5. May 24th and 25th - Feria Anual de Cuchilleria Artesanal (FACA) Knife Show.

What is Albacete?

If you know - or think you know - what Albacete is, put it in the comments. But pause the video before you do because Ovidio is about to tell us all about it!

Talking About the "Ronin 2.0"

This knife is incredible - but what goes into turning it from a custom knife into a production one? This is a great insight into how knives are made today. #ittakesavillage

Mexican Mango Suckers

This is the first time Ben is sharing Mexican candy with someone from Mexico. This is a watershed moment for Ben. This would have been an opportune time to share some Funeral Potatoes, but alas...

Mexican Stereotypes

Mexico isn't just about cartels, Cancun, and tacos. Nor is it just about tequila and soccer. Sidenote: Hard tacos don't exist in Mexico. 

Boom. Done!

There you have it! We really hope you got everything you expected and then some from this episode of Knafs@Nite.

Major thanks to Ovidio and Pablo for coming by. We wish nothing but the best to you two in your endeavors and know we'll be hearing more about your incredible knives!
