Folder Talk, Cake Knives & the Cheater Platen

from High Carbon · host Blades, craftsmanship, creativity, and laughs!

No guests this week just Keith, Albert, and Pauli on the bench. Albert wraps up the DNA knives and dives into a tall Chinese cleaver with a double hook grind, sharing his "cheater platen" trick for near hand sanded finishes. Keith actually built a folder (raindrop Damascus liner lock) and breaks down detent ball placement, lock face angles, and why friction folders are mostly pointless. Pauli announces the Varnas 2.0 launch and teases his next release: a two finger karambit style fixed blade built to ride in a jeans coin pocket.Help support us on Patreon!
