Ken Brock, Brock Blades: The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 545)

Sun, 20 Oct 2024

Ken Brock of Brock Blades joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 545 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/545).

Ken's first knives were the clueless efforts of a high school kid in shop class. In 2003, like many knife makers, he sold part of his knife and gun collection to buy his first grinder.

Ken was a law enforcement officer with no interest in working a side security job, like most of his fellow officers. As he continued to develop as a knifemaker, he began to make kydex sheaths for other makers.

In 2021, after 30 years of service in law enforcement, Ken retired to focus on making blades full time.
