CMF Metalworks' Ian Pickarski joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on episode 348 of The Knife Junkie Podcast.

A “PHD-level Redneck Engineer” -- a moniker given to him by one of his Facebook group admins -- Ian specializes in high performance folders using high-end and exotic materials.

CMF Metalworks now has a production knife called the Print, made by Reate, in addition to his customs, the Icarus, Paladin, Crusade, Mistress/R, Elkin, Omega and Daedalus.

Ian also offers an all-USA made mid-tech called the MAC Crusade, based on the Crusade custom model. Parts for the MAC Crusade are made by small manufacturers all over the nation, and then sent to PA, where Ian assembles, grinds and finishes each knife by hand.
