Blade Show West
While you're reading this and/or watching the latest episode, we're in Salt Lake at Blade Show West. This show is the cream of the crop for everyone on the left side of the map - and anyone traveling that way. It is literally the biggest knife show in the region and it runs from today, October 4th - through October 5th. So, two days of knifes, Knafs, and knife stuff.
Austin's Mustache
... Is epic.
The New Knife - LULU GRANDE!!!!
Launching at Blade Show West is the Large Lulu. As much as we love the Lulu, it's a smaller knife and doesn't perform the bigger things as well - like battoning wood. So, we decided to make a bigger Lulu for you you.
To get these made in the USA, we're working with L.T. Wright Handcrafted Knives from Wintersville, Ohio. These folks are less about the CNC process and more about handcrafting. That being the case, the Large Lulu isn't a production knife - it's a mid-tech knife. This means that they are hand made is small batches.
How small? 50 at a time. This means that the Large Lulu will be available from time to time but not all the time because. Each batch will take about 3 months to make.
Some specs:
- Steel: A2 (Whoa. Seriously? That's epic)
- Handles: Pinned Micarta Scales
- Liners: G10
- Sheath: Kydex
The Large Lulu is available RIGHT NOW on our site.
Quick Side Quest: A2
A2 steel is old school and still around because it's wicked tough steel. It holds a good edge and is easy to sharpen. However, being that it's not stainless, you're going to want to make sure that any knife you have with A2 is clean and dry before you stuff it back into its sheath.
We're half-way through the campaign for our "super-high-end BIC pen". With about a week left to go, head over to Kickstarter and secure yours right now.
Moon Crew Moment

Ship Shape Sharpening Shop
This is a spot where Ben gets to show off the knives that come to Knafs for TLC. Every week is wilder than the last. Sometimes we even get to see Keith, our resident sharpening willard. This is a great opportunity to see what people covet and what they want to be resharpened and cleaned up by the knife maintenance gnomes here at Knafs.
*NEW SEGMENT* Product Spotlight
We're replacing the Bottom of the Barrel segment with this Product Spotlight segment. This is a chance for us to share with your our favorite products.
This week, Ben shares his love for the Bit Driver - as well as his journey in developing it.

Edge of Intelligence
Each week we let AI talk the wheel and drive. Here is this week's prompt:
"If you were to create a knife that is a cross between a Cold Steel Espada XL and a Spyderco Lady Bug, what would it look like?"
The result is kind of awesome.
Field Trip
Ben heads to Knife Lounge in Hamburg, Germany. Their selection of knives is mind blowing. But that's not all they have and not all they do - check this out!
