Interview with Andy Billipp

Thanks for listening to Episode 26 of the Artisans of Steel interview series with Andy Billipp. Andy is one of the makers I've followed the longest. He created a style, long ago, that has proved tried and true, mixing brute de forge with refined grinds and handle sculpting. He's one of a handful of makers whose work I wish I owned, particularly from a user's aspect, but also as an appreciator of well-made, finely-crafted tools. I can't wait to dive into his story and history. He's a farmer, a hunter, a maker, and an all around great guy.
