On the mid-week supplemental episode of The Knife Junkie podcast (episode 478), Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco looks at 1095 knife steel, including the USMC Ka-Bar, TOPS Tex Creek, and the Station IX Partisan, among others.

Bob starts the show with his favorite comments of the week, followed by his "pocket check" of knives: the Boker Squail, QSP Hedgehog, Civivi Tomashii, and the Vero Engineering Synapse (Emotional Support Knife).

He also shows off the Pinkerton Ringed Inversion, which has been donated to the channel for a giveaway on Thursday Night Knives (Feb. 8) by Dirk Pinkerton himself. Dirk will be on Thursday Night Knives to give the knife away.
