CHAPTERS:
0:00:04 - WelcomeKicking off from the shop with weather reports, a big news day, and some sunshine finally hitting Anchorage.
0:13:18 - Bark River DramaBark River Knives is dead. The guys break down how the company got caught substituting Chinese steel, the whistleblower employees, whether the owner's apology holds water, and what happens to your warranty now. Plus: will old Bark Rivers become collector's items?
0:17:51 - Reacher FightAlan Ritchson (TV's Reacher) beat up his neighbor in Tennessee and the internet lost its mind. The crew debates roid rage, whether the little English neighbor deserved it, and what would've happened if he'd pulled a knife on a 6'4" 240lb freight train.

0:33:31 - Brazilian Knives & Fake Knife DramaThe shop is testing Traco — a Brazilian 1075 steel knife with a ceramic finish. Meanwhile, someone in Anchorage is running a fake knife website using stolen Blade HQ photos. Dakota does recon. Clam packs of multi-tools may or may not be involved.
0:46:10 - Top Hates: Combo Edges & Cigar CuttersPartial serrations, gut hooks, and why the fish scale serration is underrated. Then a surprisingly deep dive into why cheap cigar cutters outperform expensive ones, hair shear geometry, and a $1,400 William Henry Kingsman cigar knife that's never been used.
1:16:10 - Rivery Fidget Knives & BG 42 SteelThe Rivery Manufacturing Zero: a single-action OTF with replaceable razor blades that technically isn't an auto knife. Plus BG 42 armor-plating steel, Bob Ball's $5.50/hour custom knife math, and why every knife maker dies from either a shop injury or cancer.
