Knife Perspective Podcast Episode 017: Joe Flowers – Knife designer for Condor Tool & Knife and owner of Bushcraft Global
Overview: Today we have Joe Flowers on the podcast. Joe started his knife journey when he was little with a Buck 110 inspired knife his dad gave him and when he moved to Florida, his love for bugs and reptiles grew. He went on to get degrees in Zoology and Entomology in college where he met his wife. He now designs knives for Condor Tool & Knifeand guides trips to the Amazon jungle. It was great to be able to talk with Joe about his philosophy on knives and machetes as well as some of his takes on reviewing gear. Hope you enjoy another awesome show!

I listened to this one with my wife today while driving around Christmas shopping. She doesn’t know Joe, but has heard the stories.

Great guy, and one of my favorite episodes of the show to date.

But, he had a sideline business of knife making that he turned into his full-time business. Immediately following a “60 Minutes” television story — in which O’Machearley was featured — about the DHL closure and its impacts on the town, his phone started ringing for orders of his custom knives. Episode 64 of The Knife Junkie #podcast features an interesting interview into the mind of a custom knife maker and his transition from having a job with a knife making side hustle into a full-time custom knife and leather maker.
