Knife maker Roger Pearson of Savage Creature Defense Tools joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 599 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/599).
Pearson shares his unique approach to crafting blades that blend beauty, function, and personal expression. Influenced by Japanese culture and tattoo art, Roger’s knives feature fierce blades paired with elegant, sukamaki-wrapped handles. Each piece is designed with real-world self-defense in mind while still being a work of art.
He also talks about his favorite steel, the importance of craftsmanship, and what led him to pursue knife making full-time.
Now based in Ohio with a more functional shop, he’s embraced the supportive knife-making community and continues to evolve his designs. For aspiring makers, his message is clear: focus on function, appreciate the craft, and don’t be afraid to follow your passion.
