James Rodebaugh, ABS Master Bladesmith and ABS Instructor, joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 534 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/534).

Rodebaugh is a former US Marine and Federal Law Enforcement Officer before changing careers to full-time knifemaker. He claims that even with his USMC and LEO experience, testing for his Master Bladesmith was the scariest thing he'd ever done.
