Justin Carvin of DC Blades (aka Tier 1 Gear & EDC Reviews on YouTube) joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 442 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/442). 

Justin has been a knife collector from a young age and began offering his take on modern EDC gear on YouTube with his Tier 1 Gear and EDC Reviews channel. He has loaned many knives to the Knife Junkie Channel for review and has a healthy love of custom fixed blades.

In 2022, Justin joined forces with knife maker Chris Harrison of Old Squirrel Knives to produce the first batch of the fixed-blade pikal masterpiece Scythe. With Justin's years of designing and reviewing gear and Chris's CAD and knife-making experience, they decided to solidify the partnership and work on new designs together as DC Blades.

In partnership with Shieldon Knives, a folding version of the Scythe was released to astounding success -- in both high-value and premium materials. The folding Scythe sold out numerous times and was ranked #1 New Release on Amazon.

DC Blades' new design is called the Ceto, a fullered, compound-ground clip point titanium frame lock with OEM Miguron at the manufacturing helm.
