Walker Knives

Hmm.

Oh, do you wanna talk about those other things?

Well, I'm, I'm b- primarily just referencing getting into the hunting market 'cause that wasn't something I was doing initially, and I kinda got into hunting later in life too.

So as I started doing more hunting for myself, I was like, "Well, I guess this, you know, I gotta make myself a hunting knife," and that's kinda what spawned that whole evolution of the business.

But it's been really cool too because in getting into building those knives, I've, I've since met a ton of awesome people and become part of another whole community in this part of the state where I live and, uh, you know, meeting some of these sort of local legends that have been hunters in the northeast for 30, 40 years and, and just, I mean, you know, impressive stats that [chuckles] I will never achieve in the rest of my lifetime.

But, you know, getting knives in those guys' hands and meeting those guys and working with them on some podcasting stuff that they're doing and it sort of branched me out into a whole 'nother demographic in a way that I wasn't anticipating, and it's been really cool.

Hmm.

And as a hunter yourself, maybe you can give me an answer to a question because I'm no hunter, I never hunted.

Uh, but I've seen some companies that are making, uh, small knives that don't have any handle scales, but they are, uh, paracord wrapped.

Is this a good solution for a hunting knife? Uh, because-

[laughs]

...

in my mind it kinda seems gutty.

You know?

Yeah.

[laughs]

It's if you are in the guts, it's, it will be covered in shit.

Well, it's funny you say that 'cause I was at...

So Ryan and I went to this little event called the Buck Bash, uh, what was that? Last weekend.

And it was basically a private party at a, a g- a local hunter's house that happened for a bunch of years that he made public this year, and I brought my knife sharpening system and I was offering free sharpening to people just as some, you know, something fun to do.

It was a small show.

And, uh, I had one of those come by the table [laughs] and that paracord was like it...

You couldn't even tell what color it was originally.

It was full of, I don't know, animal fat, tallow, gunk, grease, grime.

Blegh.
