John Roy of Dawson Knives joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 513 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/513).

Dawson Knives began 50 years ago in a dilapidated barn, using machinery cobbled together with parts from the local landfill. Barry Dawson started Dawson Knives in 1973, after his tour of duty in Vietnam. Now retired, Barry continues to consult on new designs and processes.

Today, a third generation of Dawson's sons and daughters have learned knife-making and worked to fill the shoes of their parents and grandparents and take Dawson Knives into the next 50 years.

Roy, a second-generation Dawson knife maker who received personal instruction from Barry Dawson, has been creating and manufacturing custom knives for more than 20 years. He currently oversees operations at Dawson Knives.

Dawson Knives also makes rare and one-of-a-kind pieces, like Damascus bowies and European and Asian-inspired swords, created by Dennis Cook.
