I recently sat down for a proper Chinwag Wednesday with the master himself, Alan from Danum Blades. As many of you know, Alan is the craftsman behind my two-day stalking knives, pieces I truly cherish, especially since they were custom-crafted using the wood from my own Blaser. Seeing that transformation from raw material to a precision tool is what field-to-fork is all about. We’ve just wrapped a live session diving into the soul of knifemaking, traditional skills, and the importance of a reliable edge in the field. If you missed the live, you can catch the full replay right now in my Reels or over on YouTube! What’s in this episode: • The story behind the Blaser wood knives. • Alan’s philosophy on functional art. • A massive GIVEAWAY 🎁 (Don't miss out on this one!) How to Watch & Win: 1.
