Michael Miller, Tactile Knife Company - The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 360)

October 16, 2022

Tactile Knife Company's Michael Miller joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on episode 360 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/360).


Tactile Knife grew out of the Tactile Turn Pen company, which makes some of the most precisely turned pens in the industry out of materials familiar to the knife industry. Tactile Knife maintains the culture of high-quality, small-scale manufacturing started at Tactile Turn. 


Tactile Knife manufactures nearly all parts in-house in Garland, Texas, including screws and pivots, for their debut knife the Rockwall. Tactile also aims to have the manufacturing capabilities to make their own ceramic bearings and detent balls in the near future.


The Rockwall, Tactile Knife Co.'s first knife, is an ideal EDC with a 3" in various super steels, smooth ceramic bearing flipper action, intricately milled/turned titanium frame and a classically clean design. The Bexar is Tactile Knife Co.’s slim and classy slip joint with a tightly milled pattern and clip point blade.


Tactile is also working on releasing the Maverick, a 3.6 inch folder designed by Richard Rogers -- hopefully coming out in November -- as will as a fixed blade designed by Matthew Christensen -- Tactiile's first fixed blade design.


Tactile Knife Co. will also be hosting a knife show, at their new facility, on Nov. 5, 2022. The "Invitational" started as an idea by Miller for a small gathering, but it kept growing and now will feature approximately 25 makers as well as shop tours. If you're interested in attending, tickets are available on the Tactile Knife website.
