Matt Cross Tap Takeover Episode
Bladesmith Cameron Alarcio is so very cool. The moment he showed up with all his knives, Matt and I were complete putty in his hands. Cameron started making knives as his meticulous grandfather had before him. For his day job, Cameron teaches social studies and makers elective for 7th and 8th graders, and nights and weekends, he plays with knives, no joke. He explains the process he goes through to make a single knife, from sourcing the materials to sharpening the final product. Cameron also describes how he wound up on a reality TV show called “Forged in Fire,” how to look at a knife for flaws, and the best ways to sharpen.
