A&E is marketing Forged in Fire Kitchen Knives and the Community reacts!

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.
