Nick Matassa, better known as Stassa23 on YouTube and Instagram, joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on episode 280 of The Knife Junkie Podcast to discuss the best knives of 2021. Find show notes and links for this episode at https://theknifejunkie.com/280.

Nick has been reviewing knives since 2017 on YouTube as Stassa23. He calls his content “Knife Therapy,” which it is, literally, as Stassa has used his knife channel to deal with the PTSD and pain from a bad work accident.

Every year Nick produces best-of-the-year videos in different price categories, highlighting the most excellent blades he’s tested all year. Knives reviewed on the Stassa23 channel are put through a battery of test designed to push, not punish the knife. His reviews follow from how they perform.
