Episode 12 | Knife Packaging and Shipping

Jason, Neal, and Mike dive into the topic of knife packaging and shipping. Jason spells out - in excruciating detail - how knives made in the countryside get packed and shipped. Mike makes his case for why everyone should try Pirate Ship. Neal dives into the history of packaging and we talk about some splendid examples of cases from the mid-late 1800s into the early 1900s. You can check out some photos of these cases here. We also mention Rhidian Gatrill in this episode and his excellent representation of a "Sheep Castrator."
