Ben Spangler
Kasey Kinkade - https://www.instagram.com/kaseykinkade/
Adam Jankowski - https://www.instagram.com/practicalsteel/
We also added some new segments:
The Social Media Roundup - where we discuss the latest/most interesting bladesmith related posts we saw on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube
Tales from Infinite Forge - Chris and Sean may not be accomplished bladesmiths, but Chris's new workshop, Infinite Forge is set up and he's been getting some practice in. We talk about what we made that week, including any specialty food items or household projects we may have worked on.
BladeSpeak - where we do a deep dive into the definition of some knife related terminology and discuss why that feature is important
It's an attempt to break past our normal Forged in Fire content and to make this whole YouTube show/podcast more sustainable for the future. Please comment and let us know what you think of the new segments. We apologize if they're a little rough. It was our first time attempting to talk about this stuff.

For this very special Living Room Edition wrap up we talk about Forged in Fire episode 100, where our 4 smiths got to pick from 99 different materials that has been options on the previous 99 episodes of the show! They made choppers, and put them to the test against special anvil shaped ice blocks and burning ropes! On top of this, there was a number of callback clips to previous episodes.
The two finalists had to recreate the O-Katana, and they had to stand up to the bullet test, ballistics dummy kill test, and a bamboo slice cut test.
This was a fitting celebration for 100 episodes.

Chris, Theresa and Sean recently sat down to chat with Geoff Feder of Feder Knives, who is the co-host of Knife Talk Podcast. He makes knives, among other things, based out of Peekskill, NY.
Geoff is an outspoken bladesmith, who went to school for art and sculpture. He works with well renowned chefs, to make custom knives as well as making knives for the common knife user.
He's got a great personality and style, and we had such a great time talking about how he became a knifemaker, his preferences for materials and methods in knifemaking, his opinions on Forged in Fire and fame, and much more.

We chatted about both episodes he appeared on, in detail, and this was one of those times where we almost forgot we were doing an interview because we were learning so much!
Dave works as a blacksmith full-time and when he retires in a few years, he plans to focus on being a bladesmith.

This podcast is a little different.
It recently came to our attention that a petition was going around that had to do with this press release:
https://www.aenetworks.com/article/ae-networks-and-cricket-holdings-llc-announce-cookware-and-cutlery-lines-inspired-by-historys-hit-series-forged-in-fire?fbclid=IwAR0Zl-RaiRL5Z91HfaTbt7zlCUyJi00V8DOc3KIElZzhEJ48rMQo6njqBv0
A&E Networks is selling Forged in Fire (faux-forged looking) branded Kitchen Knives.
A number of bladesmiths were unhappy to hear about this, and voiced their opinions on Social Media, which led to the creation of this petition:
https://www.change.org/p/jacek-radko-make-a-e-network-stop-selling-forged-in-fire-branded-knives-and-other-items?recruiter=270740711&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_abi.pacific_post_sap_share_gmail_abi.gmail_abi.lightning_2primary_share_options_more.control&utm_term=psf_combo_share_initial.pacific_email_copy_en_gb_4.v1.pacific_post_sap_share_gmail_abi.gmail_abi.pacific_email_copy_en_us_3.control.pacific_email_copy_en_us_5.v1.lightning_2primary_share_options_more.control
In this video, we break down what the problem is, what the different reactions to it are, and lay out our own discussion points on the topic. It's up to you to decide what you believe. If you agree the A&E is taking advantage of the bladesmithing community by offering these products, then please sign the petition.
Thanks for listening!

Now this was a truly unique episode! First the competitors had to make traditional Texas Bowie Knives, and the judges had to deliberate for 4 hours to decide who moved to round two. For the second round, the competitors had to recreate the Elgin Pistol, by taking apart their Bowie knives and attaching the blade to a pistol. What a delightfully odd weapon!

We sat down to do an interview with Forged in Fire Champion, Spicy Mike Kerley, of Season 5 - Episode 26, Qinglong Ji! Chris had taken him to task about the whole hot sauce on a banana bit that made it on the show, and in turn Mike challenged Chris to a spice off. Poorly planned on Chris' part, he settled on a ghost pepper hot sauce while Mike went with an assortment of fresh peppers. Next time, we will coordinate so we have the same peppers. Thanks for coming on the show, Spicy Mike!
