Evan S. Nicolaides of ESNYX Knives joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 510 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/510).

Evan has been making pocket knives since November of 2014, mostly of a slip joint variety. Whether designs original to Nicolaides or reproductions of old Sheffield, England, patterns, Evan strives to make each knife a work of functionally precise art.

Combining aesthetics with utility is part of what drives Evan's knife making passion and continues to push the advancement of his craft.

In the game for less than a decade, Nicolaides has racked up an impressive roster of awards, including "Best New Knife Maker" at Blade Show 2019, "Best Custom Slip Joint" at Blade Show West 2022, and the same award in 2023 at Blade Show Texas.

Evan also has original designs made in premium materials by Reate, to include the BeerBuster and BeerBuster Jr, Work Horse and Barracuda.
