On the mid-week supplemental episode of The Knife Junkie podcast (episode 486), Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco looks at the knife brands in his collection that he won't ever part with, including Emerson Knives, Spartan Blades, and of course, Cold Steel, among a few others.

He also revisits the SOG Kiku XR, a knife he hasn't carried in a while, and announces the March Gentleman Junkie knife giveaway happening during the March 21 edition of "Thursday Night Knives."

Bob starts the show with his favorite comment of the week, followed by his pocket check of knives: the Microtech Amphibian, Case Medium Toothpick, Jed Hornbeak Necromance, and the Off-Grid Black Mamba (Emotional Support Knife).
