Today I had the privilege of learning all about knifes with craftsman, bladesmith, and darn fine human Evan Siembida of Siembida Custom Knives. You don’t have to be a hunter, fisherman, or bushcrafter to appreciate the knife as human history’s most important tool to this day. And you will immediately recognize the unsurpassed quality of Evan’s designs, numbering over 30, for the field to the kitchen and everything in between. You can check out Evan’s work on Instagram and give him a call (740-270-9057) to order your next knife today. Treat yourself or give one as a gift.

Nice and informative podcast. I own several of Evan’s knives. His enthusiasm for the outdoors is contagious. His knives are extremely comfortable in-hand. His blades stay sharp and are well-made. He is always available to answer questions or concerns. It has been cool to see his work come to fruition over time from part-time to full time knifemaking. Buy with confidence. You’ll be glad you did.
