Brian James Kim, Transparent Knives, joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on episode 320 of The Knife Junkie Podcast. Find show notes and links for this episode at https://theknifejunkie.com/320.

Brian has made a name in the knife world and gained much respect for his regrinding and re-blading of popular knives like the Benchmade 940, Bugout and Demko AD20.5. 

In addition to regrind and re-blade jobs, Brian makes fixed blade knives under the Transparent Knives shingle. Currently he offers models ranging from small EDC pocket fixie to larger outdoors knives.

Brian has also taken a number of knife makers to task over the heat treating and Rockwell hardness of their blades. Transparent Blades is now responding to a Cease and Desist letter sent by Hinderer Knives for making incendiary and untrue allegations about RHK heat treating of CPM 20CV.

Brian has reached out for help from the knife community, creating a GoFundMe to cover legal costs of the RHK situation.
