Published: 9 months ago
Denny Furey of Furey's Urban Combat Knives Unlimited joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 485 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/485).
Denny is a full-time custom bladesmith, knife maker, and designer located in Spring, Texas, specializing in self-defense, fighting, military, and first responder knives and tools. He is a certified LoneStar Maker with the Texas Knifemaker's Guild and an apprentice bladesmith with the American Bladesmith Society.
He is a military veteran of Operations Desert Shield/Storm/Provide Comfort and the Global War on Terrorism, having served 10-years (both active duty and reserves) in the United States Air Force Security Police/Forces as a non-commissioned officer.
He served 20 years as a law enforcement officer, having worked numerous aspects of the job, ranging from patrolman to chief of police in the state of Oklahoma. Denny also served as a senior SWAT commander, operator, and instructor, developing curriculum, to include edged weapons defense and application for SWAT schools and defensive tactics and combinations.
Denny's love of making, designing, and collecting knives comes from a lifetime of martial arts training and teaching. He even teaches his own system called Furey Combatives. Once in Texas, a close friend of Denny's, a knife maker, encouraged him to try his hand at making a blade.
Denny and Bob participated in Doug Marcaida's impromptu "Kali Jam" at the Texas Custom Knife Show last year, affording them the honor of crossing sticks and training blades with the Master himself.
