Jason Knight's passion for knives developed at a young age while growing up in the hinterlands of Charleston, South Carolina. He was inspired as a child by stories that his father read to him by Edgar Rice Boroughs, costumes his mother made him, and backyard adventures through the brush with old knives and machetes. His passion led him to attend the Bill Moran School of Bladesmithing in Old Washington, Arkansas, in 2001, where he trained under Master Bladesmith Jay Hendrickson. Jason turned his childhood passion into a 30-year career in bladesmithing. In 2007, he received his ABS Mastersmith rating along with the B.R. Hughes Award for the best knife by a Mastersmith candidate. His techniq ue and recognizable style have made his blades some of the most sought after in the industry. Jason currently resides in East Tennessee with his wife.

In this episode Phoenix interviews master bladesmith, bowyer, and instructor of primitive skills, the amazing Daniel Olsen, for a fascinating interview. Dan talks about how he got into primitive skills work and how he created his Traditions School for children in the greater Boise, ID area. He talks about his grounded and practical education philosophy which enables children to experience complex laws of physics, math, and the sciences through direct hands on experiences, often tied into fun ballistic activities including ballistics, archery, and other primitive skills. Dan also shares about his journey into becoming a blacksmith/bladesmith and gets into some details around the craft, as well as his experience with making bows. For all you knife lovers, primitive skill lovers, and lovers of education, this podcast is for you. Daniel Olsen began his journey into traditional skills in the foothills of Central Utah with his grandmother as his guide. She grew up herding sheep in the mountains of Idaho and Foraging The Hills for most of the food that she and her family ate. She passed this knowledge on to her grandchildren through her example. Daniel has lived in many different environments including the high deserts of Utah, Nevada, the Pacific Northwest in Washington, Idaho and Alaska, Upstate New York, the desert southwest and the tropical northeast coast of Australia. In all of these locations the desire to learn the knowledge and skills of the original inhabitants has remained strong. Daniel has been fortunate to find people in all of these locations who were eager to share their knowledge. In addition to teaching Daniel is a professional Bladesmithing and the owner of 4D Blades where he designs and makes functional works of art for outdoors men and women. He is also an accomplished public speaker and storyteller and is often sought out to make presentations to local groups on traditional skills and alternative education. Daniel has always felt a strong connection to nature and has been exploring from his childhood inspired by the stories of his ancestors, the Native Americans, and the frontiers men and women of the past. In his free time you can find Daniel roaming and foraging in the mountains and canyons of the mountain states researching and taking pictures for his book “the Bushcrafter's Guide to Useful Plants of the Mountain States“.

Don Fogg is the reason we as blade smiths are here today. I truly believe Don is one of the most important figures in bladesmithing history. If you are a custom knife maker you should hear his story. What's more amazing about Don is that he would never say that about himself. He's most humble and never seeks praise or attention. But he deserves both. Don had foresight, artistic ability, and a questioning mind. Don may be most remembered for his teaching. He shared without hesitation and that standard he set still holds true in the knife community. He was in the very first class of Master Bladesmith's and led the way in the rediscovery of Damascus steel. In fact he was the bladesmith who discovered the "W's" pattern. Don dove into metallurgy, carving, and forging. I am was lucky enough to see Don's work when he was in his prime. I was even more fortunate to get to see him teach on multiple occasions. I could go on forever. Please just listen and share this podcast. Thank you. Joshwww.montanaknifecompany.comInstagram@montanaknifecompany@joshsmithknives
At any given moment there are approximately 100 living bladesmiths as certified by the American Bladesmith Society. My guest on this episode is one of those 100. Jason Knight might be familiar to you if you watched History Channel's Forged in Fire where he served as a judge on multiple seasons. Recognizing that his heart was in making cool things rather than just being on television, Jason now owns and operates Knight Forge Studio. His custom pieces are highly sought after, as is his tutelage. All the accolades aside, Jason Knight is incredibly down to earth and, as you'll see, he bleeds creativity. I think you'll instantly see the parallels between bladesmithing and your own endeavors. This is my conversation with ABS Mastersmith Jason Knight.
