Mark of the Maker is a panel discussion with renowned custom knife makers Tom Krein, Sean Kendrick and Michael Burch, and hosted by Mark Stheiner. The format is much like a group of friends sitting around in The Pit at Blade Show, talking knives - a look at life from the perspective of the maker as well as the collector. Covering broader topics such as tactical knife history, trends, industry commentary and influences of social media, as well as conversations with other knifemakers, collectors and notable figures in and around the custom knife world.

Picture this:

A round robin BS session with your friends talking about stuff you think you know.

Now picture this:

None of the guys are your friends, but they are friends, and they know a lot about knives, and you get to sit and listen.

Yeah I know. It’s a real good time. At least, I think so.

These guys are awesome
