If I may quote the great Sean Kendrick, listening to episodes with Dr. Rachel Parikh will make you “…less ignorant”. You guys are the best! -MB

Couldn’t really get into podcasts for the longest time, finally found one that I can’t stop listening to. Great for information as a new maker in my early 20’s and also highly entertaining. Not great for my wallet, ordered a Randall and a Hinderer in O1 since I’ve started listening LOL

If your into knives, swords, axes, hatchets, spears, or any edged weapon or tool, and you're not listening to Mark of the Maker, what are you doing?! Fantastic group of fella’s with a wealth of knowledge, strong opinions, and a completely different styles. Super entertaining. Literally the only podcast I listen to.

GREAT podcast! A regular conversation among knife enthusiast that are knowledgable and experienced. Great guests and history that always amazes me with how interesting it is. I have listened to the entire library and liked all of them..

So much info on knives, knife making, knife history, legendary makers, great book recommendations, shout outs to all sorts of makers and knives new and old. Great format, great hosts and guests. Shop talk, great banter, entertaining stories about your upbringing, families, dogs, cat, grills, guns, conspiracy theories lol. You guys have it all. Truly informative, entertaining, and inspirational. Thankyou! -JESweetJ

No drama, no fads, no nonsense. The four hosts have been around the block once or twice (or more), and they know what they’re talking about. With that said, they don’t take themselves too seriously, and they haven’t lost the passion for knives many of us had in our youth. What’s not to love?

Love the podcast with all the knowledge and entertainment l’m always looking forward to the new podcast release

This podcast truly kicks butt! I’ve been listening for a long time, these guys are a fun, interesting, and addictive group. Production quality is amazing!

Having a blast listening and learning! I’ll have a hard time not acting like I’m best friends with you all when/if we ever meet in person! Keep on truckin’!

I just finished episode 9 and I have enjoyed all of them so far. Very fun podcast filled with interesting historical facts on knives and makers. Thumbs up guys, keep it up! Marty

With such a high percentage of knives and edc/gear podcasts that are unlistenable (I’ve tried to listen to maybe 10 different podcasts on the subjects); I was grateful to have found one that is this well done. I listened to the Loveless episode in it’s entirety and immediately subscribed. The discussion is well structured and the guys seem to be earnest in their love for the craft and it’s workmanship. Thanks! Keep up the good work; it’s appreciated.

If you’re into custom knives, hearing the processes and knife maker journeys this is the spot for you. The knowledge and experiences shared are amazing with a funny twist at times which makes it very enjoyable. Hands down best listening for insight into the knife community. Thanks for all your hard work on this show.

I’ve learned so much from this podcast. The boys know how to balance fun with solid, informative content. Their passion for the craft and knowledge is on display each episode.

Conversational format with lots of information and fun. If you like to keep up with the world of EDC gear and creative makers, definitely check out this podcast.

Extremely informative regardless of your tenure in the community. Mark, Tom, Sean and Michael’s personalities make this podcast enjoyable, informative (yes, again) and hilarious at times. Great job guys! #choochoo

This is my second episode I’ve listened to. I’m a part time knife maker and pricing knives has always been a major, uneducated, mystery skill for me. This episode was VERY HELPFUL! Since I make stock removal, fix blade knives by hand with a rudimentary belt grinder, drill press, block & sandpaper and files it takes me a while to complete a knife. Initially, I looked at an hourly price. But then I can’t charge people for my learning time. It has to be more realistic pricing based on the material, look (art) and maybe if it includes a leather sheath. Hearing the way these guys price their knives has taken the uncertainty away for me. Thanks Guys, Jim Van Landingham

I really enjoy listening to ya’ll. You tell it like it is and provide a lot of insight. This was not what I expected and I was pleasantly surprised. Didn’t think binge listening was a thing... now I know....

Awesome stuff guys. Great to hear some history and honest talk on making and the industry.

Great topics. A show with experienced knife makers and an awesome collector. Each of whom is distinct from each other providing their own insights into various topics of the knife and edc community. Highly recommended. I wish this show was live so I could call in at times.

Have always been interested in knives ever since I can remember. I am only 21 years old and have had a new interest of taking my love of knives from collecting to black smithing. This show was recommended from a youtuber I watch. Extremely entertaining and very knowledgeable. Also a plus I live in SWMO very close to Michaels hometown!

I am not a knife maker, but I really enjoy listening to these guys. They have great chemistry. I enjoy hearing their individual history.

Excellent in every way. Love the info, stories and laughs. Anyone into edc gear or knives will love it.

Really just needs more guitar. Thanks guys. Also... there has been a lack of cheesy knife jokes. Let’s try to keep things sharp.. keep people on edge.

I have enjoyed getting to know more about these makers and a subject we all care about for very different (and sometimes very similar) reasons. The introduction episodes were well produced and provided lots of information. Monte Burch is my hero.

The intro, the ambiance, the content, it's all top notch. I listen to several podcasts from all sorts of subjects and usually it takes a while for the podcaster(s) to find their feet and rythm. Mark of the Maker hit the nail on the head right from the beginning.

This has to be, by far, the most entertaining knife related podcast out there. Their conversations are informative and a great companion for commuting or exercising.

If you ever find yourself saying or thinking “I’d love to be a fly on the wall” at a meeting of subject matter experts, this is the podcast for you. Listening in on and gathering info from some great knife makers is inspiring. Looking forward to more episodes.

These four gents are absolutely a joy to listen to. I’ve been in the knife community for about three years now and have always wanted some form of insider info podcast, so happy this one came about and is so amazing to listen to.

All the guys are super sexy sounding. Especially that Sean character. Would smash

Great to hear their side of the knife making business as a new knife maker myself. Thank you all for passing on all your knowledge.

It’s so great to listen to other makers talk about their life, influences and insights into knife making. Can’t wait for more episodes.

If you are at all interested in the knife, tool, EDC game this is the podcast for you! I’m really enjoying getting to know the makers and hearing about their journeys through knifemaking and the community in general. Keep up the good work!

I am relatively new to podcast in general because I never really found anything I was really interested in that would hold my attention. Mark does a wonderful job hosting the show, however it is really a great collaboration as Tom, Michael and Sean all contribute and keep it flowing quite well. I’ve been into this hobby since I was a kid and never really knew many people who were as interested or stuck with it as much as I have. I always felt like people though it was odd that I have one or two or three knifes on me most of the time. It has been wonderful to lean more about your backgrounds, how you got into knives and knife making and a bit about what drives you. I have listened to all of the episodes and my wife even listened one night with me and was surprised at how much she liked it even though she isn't interested in the hobby. I might even start to read books on tape, haha... Thank you Mark, Tom, Michael and Sean, I am excited to get into some of the topics for episodes that you have mentioned. - Scott H

It’s nice to learn about other makers while working in the shop. Keep up the good work!

I’ve really enjoyed listening to the history of each maker. As well as the stories of makers from the past who influenced and mentored all of the guys. The stories are really entertaining about each persons progression into becoming a full time maker. Sean cracks me up with his quips and “word of the day”! This has been a great inspiration for me to get back into trying to make knives! If you’re into knives this is a great podcast to listen to!

Thanks to all of you for putting out great content. Listening to you all talk really brings things down a notch for me and reminds me that you’re all just everyday guys doing what you love. Keep it up!

This is a great series! Love hearing the stories from each maker. Keep it up!

This makes me wish I was traveling around recording this.

Great show! Best listen I’ve found in a while with tons of info. Awesome to have people I know doing such a great podcast

For someone whose been into this hobby for 8+ years, its awesome to have a podcast that illuminates more into our niche world. Incredbily well made, awesome hosts, cant wait to see whats upcoming. Keep it up guys, aloha!

I’ve been to subscribing to knife related podcasts when new ones pop up for the past few years, and this one is my favorite. Such a knowledgeable group of guys.

One of a few good knife maker related podcasts. Always great to hear perspectives and experiences from other makers and collectors. Keep up the good work!

This is made of up of a panel of knife historians who also make and collect amazing knives. I highly recommend this as a listen to find out more about knife making, those who paved the way in this industry and about some great craftsmen.

Loved hearing more about each of the hosts. Can’t wait to hear more from them, and from the amazing guests I know they are going to have on the show. Keep kicking butt!

Excellent podcast featuring some of the best custom knife makers in the business. Very entertaining, informative, and fun to listen to. The format makes you feel like you are sitting around a table hanging out with Sean, Tom, Michael and Mark. Love it!

If you like knives and shoptalk you’ve come to the right place. The recording is excellent and it sounds like you’re sitting in the same room with the presenters.

Love the podcast!! Great info and knowledge all around. Can’t wait for more!

I have enjoyed listening. Helpful, interesting info and none of the rumors and drama.

A great inside look to knife making by some of the best currently in the business! Superb!!!

Great stuff from the masters of the custom knife universe. Genuinely good people who know their knives!
