Knife Making: Hanging Out with James "Pop" Poplin

Knife Makers Mastery

In this episode, Steve talks with Pop, a man who has been in the world of knife making for many years. He remembers attending knife maker guild meetings where speakers included folks such as Bob Loveless and A.G. Russell. My guest used to make beautiful knives that, if you can find on the market these days, will likely sell for over a thousand dollars. He has a unique style and his knives were made with precision and craftsmanship. These days he runs a small knife supply shop, www.popsknifesupplies.com/, and offers some of the best service and prices. I'm honored to introduce to you, a man who understands the knife making community, because he is one of the patriarchs of it, in my opinion.
