Ethan Curtis of Vandrer Knives joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 401 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/401). 

Ethan originally started making knives as a hobby in 2019 while working as a Bail Bondsman and Bail Enforcement agent in North Carolina. 

His career in knives started by just selling knives at cost to friends but due to the growth of the company over the past two years Vandrer Knives officially launched as a full time company on February 7, 2022. Originally, his knife business was to be a small hobby that Ethan, his Dad and brother were all able to do together. 

Ethan has called his wife Chrissy a nomad for many years due to her constant desire to move all over the country. The name Vandrer (Norwegian for wanderer) is a tribute to her and the vikings from whom his design inspiration comes. 

The Vandrer logo incorporates Odin and a Viking coming together in a "V" and Vandrer's mission is to create quality tools at an affordable price that are ready for any task. Vandrer seeks to ensure that as technology, fighting styles and knife uses change the company remains ready to adapt to those new developments.
