Christoph Wild

This week Christoph Wild of wwwild world joins to preview the Olching knife show near Munich, happening October 10th and 11th. He talks about organizing the show's social media, the giveaway knife made by Derrick Wulf and Christian Bauer, rare Bavarian mammoth material some members are stabilizing themselves, and his brutal attempt at the lightest cleaver challenge with Apex Ultra, forged down to 0.8mm. Plus his hot take on tungsten alloy tool steels being overhyped for kitchen knives, and stories on his new fast heating Mini Hell kiln. Pauly and Albert also swap notes on new sharpening wheels, sandblasting struggles, and prepping inventory for Knife Show Austria.
