Nick Bachtel of the N.M. Bachtel Forging Company joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 563 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/563).

Nick lives and works in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, keeping an eye on the past to make knives that will last for generations. He forges knives the old fashioned way using a coal forge, making useful tools that look beautiful.

Nick has always been drawn to knives, steel, fire, wood and making things that serve a purpose. Bachtel Forging Company knives are inspired by the America of days gone by, focusing on Bowies, Daggers, woodsman's knives and other historically inspired blades.

Nick believes knife making is what he was put here to do; It is his calling, career, and craft.
